OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether the antioxidant vitamin C improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation of forearm resistance vessels in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. BACKGROUND Endothelium-dependent vasodilation is impaired in patients with diabetes mellitus.

In patients with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death, 45% and 52%, respectively. In particular, diabetes mellitus is associated with microand macrovascular complications resulting in coronary heart disease and increased morbidity and mortality. Similarly, patients with diabetes mellitus are at high risk for peripheral arteria...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common form of endocrine disease in humans; genetic factors are known to contribute to the development of this disease. In this case-control study, we investigated the relationship between the -1082G/A, -819C/T, and -592C/A polymorphisms in interleukin 10 (IL-10) and the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Chinese population. Patients with type 2 d...

A low-grade systemic inflammation is concomitant in diabetes.
