OBJECTIVE
Non-enzymatic glycation impairs the structural and functional characterstics of human serum albumin (HSA) native conformation. Prolonged hyperglycemia causes cross links formation in proteins that may contribute to progression of diabetic complications.
METHODS
HSA (20μM) was incubated
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether microalbuminuria is an independent prognostic factor for the development of diabetic complications and whether improved glycaemic or blood pressure control has a greater influence on the development of diabetic complications in those with microalbuminuria than in those
In a population-based patient material of 138 insulin-dependent diabetics aged 25-34 years, and with a diabetes onset before 30 years of age, the relation between retinopathy and albumin excretion rate was studied. The prevalence rate of any retinopathy was 59% (81) and of proliferative retinopathy
The objective of this study was to assess the albumin cobalt binding (ACB) test in a cohort of type 2 diabetes patients. The ACB test is a simple, inexpensive, sensitive and robust test that could have important clinical application in detecting complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
We tested
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
All 906 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) diagnosed before the age of 31 years, prior to 1943, and admitted to the Steno Memorial Hospital were followed until death or until 1 January 1984. In an attempt to identify factors of prognostic importance, we compared patients dying
Patients with late diabetic complications have increased levels of parameters indicating activation of coagulation (Takakashi et al., 1989; Ceriello, 1993; Murakami et al., 1993; Kario et al., 1995; Shimizu et al., 1995; Yokoyama et al., 1996), endothelial cell damage (Jensen, 1989; Iwashima et al.,
OBJECTIVE
To examine the interactive relationship between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in type 2 diabetic patients and to elucidate the role of DR and microalbuminuria on the onset of macroalbuminuria and renal function decline.
METHODS
We explored the effects of DR and
BACKGROUND
Diabetes is a growing worldwide problem that is strongly associated with atherosclerosis. Screening and intervention for diabetes in the earliest stages are advocated for the prevention of diabetic complications and cardiovascular disease.
METHODS
This review gives a background of and
Protein glycation caused by sugars and reactive carbonyls is a contributing factor to diabetic complications, aging, and other chronic diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of cranberry phytochemicals on protein glycation. Cranberries, purified to yield
Diabetic nephropathy is the most common aetiology of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Strict glycaemic control reduces the development and progression of diabetes-related complications, and there is evidence that improved metabolic control improves outcomes in diabetic subjects with advanced chronic
BACKGROUND
The daily treatment of type 1 diabetes with frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels and nuisance caused by insulin administration may affect patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Type 1 diabetes is further burdened with an increased risk of complications which may
Herbal medicines have become a core interest, and they are used widely. Lagenaria siceraria is known for its antihyperglycemic, antidyslipidemic, antioxidant potential, and the present study was designed to explore the possible role of L. siceraria in attenuation of diabetic complications via in
