Lipid peroxidation was studied by the levels of malonic dialdehyde (MDA) in the platelets and red cells of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 1 as to relationships to vascular complications and insulin therapy. MDA appeared elevated both in red cells and platelets of DM patients, but was high...
