C-peptide, Na+,K+-ATPase, and Diabetes
Na+,K(+)-ATPase is an ubiquitous membrane enzyme that allows the extrusion of three sodium ions from the cell and two potassium ions from the extracellular fluid. Its activity is decreased in many tissues of streptozotocin-induced diabetic animals. This impairment could be at least partly responsible for the development of diabetic complications. Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity is decreased in the red...
متن کاملMaternal Serum C- Reactive Protein Concentration in Gestational Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: Low-grade systemic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. C-Reactive Protein (CRP), an acute phase protein produced by hepatocytes, may be associated with diabetes. This study aimed to compare serum levels of CRP in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), impaired glucose tolerance test and control subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this ca...
متن کاملC-peptide in diabetes diagnosis and therapy.
C-peptide is known for several decades. It is released in equimolar amounts together with insulin from the pancreatic beta cells. Still there has been quite remarkable lack of interest in C-peptide. C-peptide is rarely used to classify type of diabetes although it seems self-evident that it is important to estimate the function of those cells which do not function good enough and therefore caus...
متن کاملChronic hepatitis C and diabetes mellitus.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects approximately 170 million people worldwide. More than 80% of patients with HCV infection progress into chronicity, 20–30% of patients with chronic hepatitis C progress to cirrhosis after 10–20 years of follow-up, and some develop hepatocellular carcinoma. Chronic HCV infection is the most important cause of liver transplantation in Western countries. Extrahepatic...
متن کاملC-peptide and Retinal Microangiopathy in Diabetes
Increased extracellular matrix (ECM) protein deposition and capillary basement membrane (BM) thickening are characteristic features of diabetic retinal microangiopathy. Recent observations in the authors' laboratories suggest that high glucose in endothelial cells as well as diabetes causes up-regulation of total fibronectin (FN), as well as extradomain-B (EDB) containing the spliced variant of...
