Summary
Type 2 diabetes is a rapidly growing medical problem in Australia and around the world. Diabetes affects human health through its complications and the cardiovascular complications are a cause for major concern. One of the complications is the effect on plasma lipids: it makes cholesterol carrying particles to accumulate in the blood vessels, causing atherosclerosis. We intend to investigate how diabetes modify these particles making them atherogenic.
