Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most important cause of mortality in India characterized by hyperglycaemia due to deficiency of insulin and insulin resistance . Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a purine metabolizing enzyme that catalyses the deamination of adenosine to inosine and modulates the insulin activity. Aim: To determine the activity of adenosine deaminase in type 2 diabetic patients. Material & Method: We measured the serum level of Adenosine Deaminase (ADA), and Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) in 50 patients with type 2 diabetes and 50 healthy controls. Subjects included in study were known diabetics. Results: The levels of Serum Adenosine Deaminase were highly significant (p<0.001) in study group in comparison to control group. Conclusion: Our study concludes that serum Adenosine Deaminase activity significantly increased in type 2 diabetes mellitus. High ADA activity reduces the glucose uptake into cells; therefore, insulin resistance is related to ADA activity.
