Abstract

We assessed the impact of an acute bout of hyperglycaemia on nitric oxide (NO)-mediated microvascular function in the skin of adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Twelve subjects (12-18 years) with T1DM were randomised into a control (n = 6) or hyperglycaemia (n = 6) group. Hyperinsulinaemic clamps were used to manipulate blood glucose level (BGL). Following a baseline period, where all subjects were euglycaemic (20 min), the experimental phase began. During the experimental phase, BGL was elevated to 16.7 ± 0.9 mmol L(-1) in the hyperglyceamic group, while it was maintained at euglycaemia (5.5 ± 0.1 mmol L(-1)) in the control group. Simultaneously, cutaneous microvascular function (% max cutaneous vascular conductance, CVC%) was assessed using laser Doppler fluxometry following stimulation of skin blood flow using localised heating (42 °C). To determine the NO contribution to skin blood flow, two microdialysis sites were assessed, one perfused with Ringers and the other with the NO blocker, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA). In the hyperglycaemic group, acute increase in BGL was not associated with changes in skin blood flow (CVC% 82.4 ± 8.7% at 5.5 ± 0.1 mmol L(-1) vs 79.5 ± 9.1% at 16.7 ± 0.9 mmol L(-1), unpaired t tests...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.
