STUDY OF SERUM ADENOSINE DEAMINASE ACTIVITY IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS IN VIDARBHA REGION.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most important cause of mortality in India characterized by 
hyperglycaemia due to deficiency of insulin and insulin resistance . Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a purine
