Rapid, noninvasive detection of diabetes-induced retinal metabolic stress.
OBJECTIVE To test whether subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) have enhanced retinal flavoprotein autofluorescence compared with age-matched control subjects using a rapid, noninvasive clinical imaging method. METHODS Twenty-one subjects with DM and 21 healthy age-matched control volunteers were subjected to retinal imaging using 1-ms flashes of 467-nm light. Flavoprotein autofluorescence for...
متن کاملProtective effect of curcumin in fructose-induced metabolic syndrome and in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pre-treatment with curcumin on metabolic changes induced by two different pathophysiological mechanisms in rats (fructose diet and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus). Materials and Methods: Five groups with 10 rats per group were investigated: control group (healthy rats), fructose diet groups without any pre-treatme...
متن کاملShear stress modulates RAGE-mediated inflammation in a model of diabetes-induced metabolic stress.
Atherosclerosis occurs preferentially at sites of disturbed blood flow despite the influence of risk factors contributing to systemic inflammation. The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) is a prominent mediator of inflammation in diabetes that is upregulated in atherosclerotic plaques. Our goal was to elucidate a role for arterial hemodynamics in the regulation of RAGE expressio...
متن کاملNoninvasive In Vivo Imaging of Diabetes-Induced Renal Oxidative Stress andResponse to Therapy Using Hyperpolarized
Oxidative stress has been proposed to be a unifying cause for diabetic nephropathy and a target for novel therapies. Here we apply a new endogenous reductionoxidation (redox) sensor, hyperpolarized (HP) C dehydroascorbate (DHA), in conjunction with MRI to noninvasively interrogate the renal redox capacity in a mouse diabetes model. The diabetic mice demonstrate an early decrease in renal redox ...
متن کاملDiabetes-induced dysfunction of retinal Müller cells.
PURPOSE This study tested the hypothesis that the function of the glutamate transporter in retinal Müller cells is compromised early in the course of diabetes by a mechanism involving oxidation. Dysfunction of this transporter, which removes glutamate from the extracellular space, may play a critical role in the disruption of glutamate homeostasis that occurs in the diabetic retina. Because glu...
