Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main endpoint of this study will be the value of erythrocyte-bound apolipoprotein B in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints will be the relation of erythrocyte-bound apolipoprotein B levels in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2 in association to clinical or subclinical atherosclerosis. Furthermore we will compare the level of and erythrocyte-bound apolipoprotein B in patients with diabetes mellitus against these levels in controls without diabetes mellitus. Finally, we want to study the levels of factors associated with complement activation in relation to ery- apo B values including DNA polymorphism. | — |
