Abstract
Fasting blood glucose levels and serum alkaline phosphatase activity of age-matched Libyan diabetic men (168) and women (168) were determined. The mean levels of blood glucose of men and women were 227 +/- 6 and 237 +/- 5 mg/dl, respectively. The respective values of serum alkaline phosphatase were 179 +/- 5 and 199 +/- 6 IU/l. The mean serum phosphatase activity of women was significantly higher (p less than 0.001) than that of their male counterparts. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between serum alkaline phosphatase and blood glucose levels of these diabetic patients (r = 0.35; p less than 0.001).
Keywords: Correlation between serum alkaline phosphatase activity and blood glucose levels.
