Oxidation Flux Change in Diabetic Retinopathy: Does It Exist or Not?
نویسنده
چکیده
The oxidation process is one of the most important natural processes. Oxidative change in retina is believed to be an important process in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. In the present study, the oxidation flux change was assessed in such cases. The simulation test to determine the oxidation flux change based on nanomedicine technique was used. Of interest, no flux change could be detected. The main pathogenesis should be direct injury of membrane structure by other processes. Therefore, study results support the concept according to which the oxidation flux change in basement membrane does not exist.

Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus can lead to blindness due to severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The pathophysiology of retinal involvement is important in diabetic retinopathy, with stress-induced cellular ion change and oxidation generally proposed to be the underlying mechanism [1 – 2]. Based on the concept of nanomedicine, it has been proven that there is no alteration in flux cr...
متن کاملEvaluation of Plasma Protein Oxidation Biomarkers in type 2 Diabetic Patients with Retinopathy
Objective: Retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes and leading cause of blindness throughout the world. The proteins as the most chemical substances in the cells are exposed to oxidative damages of free radicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the values of protein oxidation biomarkers in diabetic patients with retinopathy. Materials and Methods: This study was done on 3...

This study was conceived in an effort to understand cause and effect relationships between hyperglycemia and diabetic retinopathy. Numerous studies show that hyperglycemia leads to oxidative stress in the diabetic retinas, but the mechanisms that generate oxidative stress have not been resolved. Increased electron pressure on the mitochondrial electron transfer chain, increased generation of cy...

Objective(s):To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the contributions of GST genetic variants to the risk of diabetic retinopathy in an Iranian population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether sequence variation in glutathione S-transferase gene (GSTM1 and GSTT1) is associated with development of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D...
