BACKGROUND Diabetic subjects have a high incidence of cardiovascular accidents, with an altered circadian distribution. Abnormalities in the circadian rhythm of autonomic tone may be responsible for this altered temporal onset of cardiovascular disease. METHODS AND RESULTS To assess circadian changes of sympathovagal balance in diabetes, we performed 24-hour power spectral analysis of RR interval fluctuations in 54 diabetic subjects (age, 44 +/- 2 years) with either normal autonomic function or mild to severe autonomic neuropathy and in 54 age-matched control subjects. The power in the low-frequency (LF, 0.03-0.15 Hz) and high-frequency (HF, 0.18-0.40 Hz) bands was considered an index of relative sympathetic and vagal activity, respectively. Diabetic subjects with autonomic abnormalities showed a reduction in LF compared with control subjects (5.95 +/- 0.12 In-msec2 versus 6.73 +/- 0.11, p < 0.001) and an even greater reduction in LF, particularly during the night and the first hours after awakening (5.11 +/- 0.18 In-msec2 versus 6.52 +/- 0.14, p < 0.001). Day-night rhythm in sympathovagal balance was reduced or absent in diabetic subjects compared with control subjects. CONCLUSIONS Diabetic subjects with or without signs of autonomic neuropathy have a decreased vagal activity (and hence a relatively higher sympathetic activity) during night hours and at the same time of the day, during which a higher frequency of cardiovascular accidents has been reported. These observations may provide insight into the increased cardiac risk of diabetic patients, particularly if autonomic neuropathy is present.

Role of oxidative stress in pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome

The metabolic syndrome (MS) recognized as a major cause of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, has become one of the major public health challenges worldwide. The pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome is multiple and still poorly understood. No single factor has yet been identified as an underlying causal factor. There is a growing belief, however, that obesity, specially visceral obe...

Circadian rhythm of the autonomic nervous system in insulin resistant subjects with normoglycemia, impaired fasting glycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes mellitus

BACKGROUND In type 2 diabetes mellitus both insulin resistance and hyperglycemia are considered responsible for autonomic dysfunction. The relation between the autonomic activity, impaired fasting glycemia and impaired glucose tolerance is, however, unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the circadian autonomic activity expressed as heart rate variability (HRV) measured ...
