Genetic determinants of albuminuria and renal disease in diabetes mellitus.
Angiotensin II (AngII) participates in the pathogen-esis of renal diseases, through the regulation of twokey processes inflammation and fibrosis. AT1 andAT2 are the main receptors of AngII. AT1 mediatesmost of the actions of AngII. This receptor regulatesCorrespondence and offprint requests to: Marta Ruiz-Ortega,Vascular and Renal Research Laboratory, Fundación Jiménez<l...
متن کاملRelationship between albuminuria and cardiovascular disease in Type 2 diabetes.
Impaired renal function and albuminuria, common among people with type 2 diabetes, are strong predictors of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events. However, the relationships among albuminuria and measures of calcified atherosclerotic plaque are unknown. Coronary and carotid artery calcified plaque were measured using fast-gated helical computed tomography, and B-mode ultrasonography measured co...
متن کاملThe links between diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The aim of this study was to review current studies relevant to the link between impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of the reduction in life expectancy in patients with diabetes. Seventy-five percent of diabetic patients die prematurely of cardiovascular complications. Both prediabetes and diabetes highly pre-dispose t...
متن کاملGenetic Links between Recombination and Speciation
Meiosis distinguishes cells in the germ line from their somatic counterparts. Part of meiosis involves a bizarre series of events in which cells deliberately damage their DNA and then repair it. Of the many double-strand breaks that are generated, a minority are resolved as reciprocal exchanges between homologous chromosomes [1]. In a wide variety of species, recombination diversifies genomes a...
متن کاملHow Can Genetic Studies Help Us to Understand Links Between Birth Weight and Type 2 Diabetes?
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In observational epidemiology, both low and high birth weights are associated with later type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms underlying the associations are poorly understood. We review evidence for the roles of genetic and non-genetic factors linking both sides of the birth weight distribution to risk of type 2 diabetes, focusing on contributions made by the most recent genome-wi...
