ABSTRACT
The polymorphisms of paraoxonase 1 ( PON 1 ) and ApoE gene in 192 patients with type 2diabetes mellitus (DM group) , 116 cases of atherosclerosis (AS) without DM (AS group), and 105 normal subjects (NC group ) were detected by means of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The serum concentration of Ox-LDL was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The results showed that plasma Ox-LDL level in DM group was higher than those in AS and NC groups[(754.2±279.9 vs 526. 1±186.2 and 421.1 ± 163.2 )μg/L, P<0.01]. Ox-LDL level in the patients with QQ genotype of PON 1 was higher than those in QR and RR genotypes in type 2 DM[(846.6±147.5 vs 763.4±126. 7 and 7 1 3.2 ±132.4 ) μg/L, P<0. 0l],and Ox-LDL level in the patients with ε3/4+ ε4/4 genotype of ApoE was also higher than those in ε3/3 and ε2/2 + ε2/3 geneotypes in type 2 DM[( 824.3 ± 173.5 vs 741.6± 182. 5 and 718.3 ± 167.5 ) μg/L, P<0.05], but the difference was not found in atherosclerosis without DM. Multiple regression analysis showed that disease duration, PON1 and ApoE genotypes were the independent predictors of plasma Ox-LDL level in patients with type 2 DM.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the changes of the endothelium-dependent vasodilatation(EDF)and serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in the patients with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM).Methods 30 IGT patients,30 type 2 DM patients and 33 normal subjects were divided into3 groups. Fasting glucose(FPG),fasting insulin(FINS),serum superoxide dismutase(SOD),maleie. dialdehyde(MDA)and VEGF were measured after 12 hours overnight fast. Oral 75g glucose tolerance test(OGTT)was performed. The inner diameter of braehial artery was assessed by a high resolution ultrasound system before and after reactive hyperemia. EDF was calculated as the percent change in brachial artery diameter 1 minute after reactive hyperemia compared with baseline. Results In the IGT group and DM group, EDF was significantly lower than that in NGT group(both P＜0.01),and EDF in the DM group was significantly lower than that in the IGT group(P＜0.01).SOD in the IGT group and DM group were significantly lower than that in the NGT group(both P＜0.01),but MDA in reverse(both P＜0.01).Compared with the IGT group, SOD in DM group was significantly lower(P＜0.01),but MDA was significantly higher(P＜0.01).VEGF was progressively increased in the NGT,IGT, DM groups. The difference between the two groups was significant(both P＜0.01).Stepwise regression analysis showed that EDF was positively related to SOD(r=0.418,P＜0.01,n=93),and negatively related to HOMA-IR and VEGF(r=-0.553,-0.221,both P＜0.01,n=93).VEGF was negatively related to SOD(r=-0.552,P＜0.01,n=93).Conclusion EDF is impaired in IGT patients while the impairment in DM patients becomes more marked. Insulin resistance, VEGF,SOD and MDA are closely related to the impairment of EDF in IGT and type 2 DM.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the polymorphisms of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1)gene and the level of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation (EDF) in patients with type 2 diabe- tes(T2DM).Methods The polymorphisms of PAI-1(4G/5G)gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)and the EDF was assessed by non-invasive hish resolution B-mode ultrasonography in 66 T2DM patients and 33 controls.Plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1(PAI-1)and fibrinogen(Fg)were measured.Results Frequencies of PAI-1 alleles and genotypes in T2DM patients and controls were all in accordance with the Hardy Weinberge quilibrium,without significant differences between T2DM patients and controls(P>0.05).PAI-1 and Fg were significantly higher in T2DM patients than in controls.There were significant differences in EDF and PAI- lamong different genotypes of PAI-1(P<0.05).Conclusion The PAI-1 genotype may affect EDF in T2DM pa- tients.
ABSTRACT
Plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) antigen level in 204 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) was higher than that in 60 healthy subjects (P
