Abstract
Abstract: Blood glucose, lipids, α‐tocopherol, and malondialdehyde were monitored in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients for 8 hours after a standard fat‐rich breakfast and lunch. Although glucose and triglycerides increased, α‐tocopherol decreased and malondialdehyde increased in the postprandial phase. In the postabsorptive phase values returned to fasting levels. These results point to the possible relevance of postprandial α‐tocopherol depletion and lipid peroxidation to an increased cardiovascular risk in these patients.Keywords
