Molecular mechanisms of diabetic vascular complications
Diabetic complications are the major causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. Microvascular complications include retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy, which are leading causes of blindness, end-stage renal disease and various painful neuropathies; whereas macrovascular complications involve atherosclerosis related diseases, such as coronary artery disease, peripheral vas...
متن کاملThe molecular mechanisms underlying diabetic complications
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide and is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. Diabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and alterations of cellular homeostasis, which lead to diffuse vascular damage. The microvascular complications of diabetes, resulting from a damage of the microvasculature of the kidney, retina and neurons, includ...
متن کاملMechanisms of diabetic complications.
It is increasingly apparent that not only is a cure for the current worldwide diabetes epidemic required, but also for its major complications, affecting both small and large blood vessels. These complications occur in the majority of individuals with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Among the most prevalent microvascular complications are kidney disease, blindness, and amputations, with curren...
متن کاملMolecular targets of diabetic vascular complications and potential new drugs.
In diabetes, oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of vascular complications, and an early step of such damage is considered to be the development of an endothelial dysfunction. Hyperglycemia directly promotes an endothelial dysfunction inducing process of overproduction of superoxide and consequently peroxynitrite, that damages DNA and activates the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribo...
متن کاملVascular Aging and Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms and Influences
Vascular aging plays an important role in the mortality of the elderly, but vascular aging can be dependent on other factors such as diseases. Various diseases such as Alzheimer, diabetes, thalassemia, and other diseases affect the mechanisms of vascular aging. It will harm the recovery process of these patients. There are methods for measuring vascular aging such as instrumental measurements a...
