Resumen

In people with diabetes, lack of insulin or its ineffectiveness completely disturbs the metabolic process and consequently glucose builds up in the blood stream. The occurrence of diabetes mellitus is connected with the changes in the micronutrient status of the body as these nutrients play a specific role in production and action of insulin. A region-specific (Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh, India) study on trace element concentrations in diabetic blood serum and comparison with trace levels in normal blood has been carried out using PIXE to correlate the deficiency or excess of trace element levels in diabetic patients. Deficiency of Fe, Mn, Cr and Zn and higher levels of S and K have been found in people suffering from diabetes in this region.
