Alterations in Aggregation Parameters of Erythrocytes Due to Hyper Cholesterol in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus
نویسنده
چکیده
The aggregation parameters of erythrocytes in hyperglycemic subjects with normal cholesterol and with hyper cholesterol were analyzed, and compared with control, by optical scattering under dynamic conditions. Aggregation of erythrocytes is determined by online erythrocyte aggregometer, based on sequential analysis of transmitted laser light intensity after passing through the erythrocyte suspension. The aggregation mechanism in terms of various parameters like process initiation time (PIT), process completion time (PCT), aggregation size index (ASI), effective number of cells (ENC), and effective cellular sedimentation duration (ECSD) is determined. The aggregation parameters thus obtained are used to describe quantitatively the dynamic nature of aggregation process under gravitational sedimentation. The present data show that, in diabetes mellitus with normal cholesterol, the aggregation of erythrocytes is increased and in diabetes with hyper cholesterol, the aggregation is further increased significantly. These changes may significantly affect the flow properties of erythrocytes in microcirculation in diabetes mellitus with hyper cholesterol.

Influence of cholesterol on shape parameters of erythrocytes in hyperglycemic subjects.
OBJECTIVE We determined the morphological changes of erythrocytes in blood samples of diabetic patients with varying levels of hyperglycemia with normo- and hyper-cholesterol concentrations and compared them with cells of healthy subjects. METHODS The shape analysis was carried out by shape descriptors based on projected area, perimeter and form factor, as measured by the processing of erythr...

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) is the most common metabolic disease demonstrating itself by hyper- glycemia, due to impaired insulin secretion or action. Recently, Whole-Genome Association studies have revealed the role of several new genes responsible for T2D. One of the most studied genes is SLC30A8 (Zn-T8) which is exclusively expressed in pancreatic ?-cells and participates in insulin stora...

Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the greatest public health threats in modern societies. Although during a few years it was suggested that DM had no significant effect in male reproductive function, this view has been challenged in recent years. From a clinical perspective, the evaluation of semen parameters, as well as spermatozoa deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) integrity, are often st...

Background: Diabetes mellitus, which is associated with elevated blood glucose, lipids and liver enzymes, may results in alterations in the production of inflammatory cytokines, including chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which induce and promote complications of diabetes such as atherosclerosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum ...
