Abstract
Levels of heparin cofactor II (HCII) activity and antigen and electrop horetic pattern were studied both in normal subjects and in type I dia betic patients with high and normal levels of glycosylated haemoglobin . There was a significant reduction in HCII activity (83 +/- 7%) in pa tients with high levels of glycosylated haemoglobin compared with cont rols (95 +/- 17%; P < 0.001). However, plasma HCII antigen levels were not decreased in these patients.
