P 338 Retinopathy in IDDM in Europe, the eurodiab IDDM complications study

Puroose: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is assumed to develop because vasogenic factors are released from retinal areas that are ischaemic and hypoxic secondary to occlusion of the retinal vascular bed.

Elevated levels of circulating adhesion molecules in IDDM patients and in subjects at risk for IDDM.

Serum levels of recently discovered circulating forms of adhesion molecules, ICAM-1 and L-selectin, were found to be elevated in IDDM patients and in subjects at risk for developing IDDM compared with 100 normal, nondiabetic blood donors. Both adhesion molecules were determined by sandwich ELISA. Serum concentrations of either clCAM-1 or cL-selectin were > 2SD of normal mean in 10 of 14 recent-...
