The transcapillary escape rate of albumin (TERalb) is often elevated in patients with diabetic microangiopathy. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of enalapril on the TERalb of diabetic patients with albuminuria and normal or mildly elevated blood pressure. Seventeen diabetic
Until the mid eighties most conceptual knowledge of peripheral transcapillary plasma protein transport has been based on experiments with the lymph collection methods, picturing macromolecular exchange as a slow, mainly unidirectional flux from plasma to lymph. All sieving or restriction is assumed
Microvessels isolated from rat epididymal fat exhibit differential vesicular ingestion rates for unmodified and non-enzymatically glycosylated rat albumin. While unmodified rat albumin is excluded from ingestion by endothelial micropinocytic vesicles, glycosylated albumin is avidly taken up by
YKL-40 is a marker of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, both of which play important roles in the progression of diabetic complications. However, little information has been obtained about serum YKL-40 levels in type 1 diabetic patients. We evaluated YKL-40 levels and its association with
OBJECTIVE
Adipocytokines, products from adipose tissue, have biological activities on the vascular system, and may affect diabetic angiopathy. In this study, we assessed the relationship between adiposity and plasma adipocytokine levels, and investigated the clinical significance of adiposity and
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to assess the development of microangiopathy in patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes, a novel subtype of type 1B diabetes.
METHODS
In a nationwide survey, we followed 41 patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes and 76 age- and sex-matched patients with
The aim of this study was to evaluate the cochlear micromechanics in type 1 diabetic patients and to compare these findings with diabetic microvascular complications (retinopathy and nephropathy). Cochlear activity was evaluated by recording 2f1-f2 DPOAE. DPOAEs were performed using an ILO92
The aim of this study was to evaluate serum advanced glycation end products (S-AGEs) in a group of adolescents and young adults with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and with diabetic microvascular complications (nephropathy or retinopathy). Fifty-two patients were included in the study
Insulin-dependent diabetic patients with increased urinary albumin excretion are characterized by elevated blood pressure and declining kidney function. In addition, such patients have a high risk of atherosclerotic vascular disease, proliferative retinopathy, and cardiomyopathy, suggesting that
BACKGROUND
Compared to the golden standard glycation index of HbA1c, glycated albumin (GA) has potentials for assessing insulin secretory dysfunction and glycemic fluctuation as well as predicting diabetic vascular complications. However, the reference ranges of GA and a conversion equation need to
The existence of a hyperactive hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis in diabetics and its relevance to diabetic complications has been controversial. In this study we determined the 24 hour urinary excretion of free cortisol (UFC), its nyctohemeral variation and its relation to indices of
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) of the aorta was measured in 40 patients with diabetes mellitus, in order to study the relation between PWV and diabetic angiopathy. The PWV was significantly faster in diabetic patients on oral hypoglycemic agents than in those on diet alone or on insulin. The PWV
Available evidence indicates that poor metabolic control and raised blood pressure each accelerate the development of diabetic microangiopathy. Microangiopathy is associated with excess albumin deposition in capillary basement membranes and it has been suggested that increased extravasation of
BACKGROUND
We investigated the relationship between the glycemic indices glycated albumin (GA) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and the progression of diabetic vascular complications [diabetic nephropathy (DN) and carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAA)] in subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
METHODS
A
