Method: FBS/PPBS done by GOD POD method IN Vitros “S”, FS machine. HBA1C Done by HPLC plus ion exchange resin. Lipid profile after overnight fasting of 12 hours blood collected in the morning about 5 ml and the serum centrifuged and kept for analysis. Serum cholesterol estimation: The CHOD-PAP method, enzymatic colorimetric test was used in Vitros “S”, FS machine.
Result: After applying Levene’s test for equality of variance, t test between mean of epicardial fat thickness and visceral fat thickness between obese and non-obese groups, shows statistically significant (p=<0.05) association. Obese patients(11.88+1.40) had significantly more epicardial fat thickness as compared to non-obese type 2 diabetes patients (10.19+1.37), t(148) = -7.39, (p=<0.05). Obese patients (58.85+10.89) had significantly more visceral fat thickness as compared to non-obese type 2 diabetes patients (46.23+9.79), t (148) = -7.34, (p= <0.05).
Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus (DM) refers to a group of common metabolic disorders lead to phenotype of hyperglycemia and caused by a complex interaction of genetics and environmental factors. We concluded that EFT and VAT were significantly correlated among obese diabetics as compare to non-obese diabetic suggesting, Obesity is an independent risk factor for visceral adipose tissue deposition both in abdomen as well as in epicardial surface.
