| Abstract | ||
| Chromium is essential element in human nutrition. Serum concentration of chromium are not well characterized during pregnancy or in gestational diabetes mellitus. Fifty females were involved in this study, all of them were in the third trimester, twenty without diabetes mellitus and thirty with diabetes mellitus. The aims of our study were to detect the alteration in the serum chromium levels in late pregnancy in women suffering from diabetes mellitus type 1 and those with gestational diabetes mellitus, and the association of altered serum chromium concentration with lipid concentration. The results of this study show that low serum concentrations of chromium are associated with hyperglycemia and hypetriglycerdemia. There were no significant differences in serum chromium in patients with type 1 D.M. and those with gestational D.M. | ||
