Summary

Seromucoid glycoproteins reveal different carbohydrate composition in diabetic patients as compared with normal subjects. An increased glucose content is the most characteristic feature of seromucoid found in diabetic patients. The amounts of proteins, neutral sugars, aminosugars and sialic acids in seromucoid correlate with diabetic microangiopathy.

Key words

Seromucoid glycoproteins - carbohydrate composition - diabetic microangiopathy
