Pro-Atherogenic Oxidized Ldl/β2-Glycoprotein I Complexes in Diabetes Mellitus: Antioxidant Effect
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the fifth deadliest disease in the United States with an annual economic cost estimated over $100 billion. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the most life threatening consequence of DM accounting for the death of up to 65% of DM patients. Aggressive efforts aimed at treating and controlling the classic CVD risk factors over the last few decades have brought along...
متن کاملCirculating oxidized LDL forms complexes with beta2-glycoprotein I: implication as an atherogenic autoantigen.
Beta2-glycoprotein I (beta2-GPI) is a major antigen for antiphospholipid antibodies (Abs, aPL) present in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). We recently reported (J. Lipid Res., 42: 697, 2001; J. Lipid Res., 43: 1486, 2002) that beta2-GPI specifically binds to Cu2+-oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and that the beta2-GPI ligands are omega-carboxylated 7-ketocholesteryl esters. In the present stu...
متن کاملThe Antioxidant Effect of Curcumin on Cochlear Fibroblasts in Rat Models of Diabetes Mellitus
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of curcumin as an antioxidant to increase the expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in fibroblasts of the cochlear lateral wall in rat models of diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats Rattus norvegicus were randomly divided into six groups: group 1 as the control group; group 2 as the diabeti...
متن کاملElevated Levels of Serum β2-Glycoprotein I/Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Complexes Are Associated with Cerebral Infarction in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
BACKGROUND To determine whether the levels of b2-glycoprotein I (b2-GPI)/oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) complexes are correlated with cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS The levels of β2-GPI/oxLDL complexes, oxLDL, routine lipid/lipoprotein parameters, oxidative stress molecules, and inflammatory factors were measured in 78 health...
متن کاملAntioxidant Effect of Aloe Vera in Experimentally Induced Diabetes Mellitus
The aim of the present study was to evaluate antidiabetic and antioxidant potential of Aloe vera (AV) in alloxan induced diabetes in albino rabbits. Experimental Diabetes was induced in rabbits with alloxan(80mg/Kg body weight)and animals showing fasting blood glucose levels more than 250mg/dl were considered as diabetics and divided into four groups of six each (n=6). Group I: Normal control r...
