چکیده

Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for atherosclerosis/cardiovascular diseases. Atherosclerosis in diabetic patients has been linked to increased oxidative stress and intima-media thickness is used to detect its presence. Catalase is involved in hydrogen peroxide catabolism and is important in defense against oxidative stress, which contributes significantly to atherosclerotic processes. There are no data on association of catalase gene genotypes of rs769217 polymorphism and carotid artery intima-media thickness. Therefore, this study investigated the potential association of catalase rs769217 polymorphism and intima media thickness in diabetic patients. Right and left carotid intima-media thickness increased (P≤0.001) in type 1 and type 2 diabetes when it was compared to those of controls. Blood catalase activities of CC genotypes of rs769217 polymorphism in catalase gene were associated with cITT (P<0.043) in type 1 diabetics, type 2 diabetics and in controls. This interesting new finding could suggest that diabetics and controls with CC genotype of rs769217 polymorphism may have higher carotid intima media thickness and higher risks for cardiovascular events when they blood catalase is high. This higher catalase could destroy hydrogen peroxide more effectively thus preventing the signaling action of hydrogen peroxide. ISSN 2475-545

Background: Microangiopathy and macroangiopathy frequently coexist in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Both types of the vascular complications share traditional risk factors but it is not clear whether the presence of microangiopathy, such as diabetic retinopathy, constitutes a predictor of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries in patients with the disease. In this study we looked for the associ...

Decreased Intima-Media Carotid Artery Thickness after 24 Sessions of Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Background and Objective: Diabetes type 2 has been estimated as the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. Diabetic patients are 2-3 times more likely to be at the risk of atherosclerosis, compared to normal people. It has been reported that exercise prevents atherosclerosis in diabetic patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise on vascular variables...
