Genetic Polymorphisms in Genes Encoding Antioxidant Enzymes Are Associated With Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 1 Diabetes
14 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of microangiopathic complications in type 1 diabetes. We investigated polymorphic markers in genes encoding enzymes regulating production of reactive oxygen species in association with diabetic retinopathy or diabetic nephropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 124 patients with type 1 diabetes were investigated in this case-control...
