Abstract

The adhesion of leucocytes to the endothelium, an early step in atherogenesis, is mediated by cell adhesion molecules. In this study we evaluated the concentration of soluble adhesion molecules in patients with insulin-dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and studied its relation to glycaemic control. Soluble adhesion molecules E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) were measured in 31 diabetic patients (18 with IDDM and 13 with NIDDM), 20 hyperlipoproteinaemic patients (10 with type IIa and 10 with type IIb) and 20 healthy subjects. Increased E-selectin concentrations were found in the patients with IDDM and NIDDM and in the hyperlipoproteinaemic patients when compared to the control subjects (p < 0.01 for all the groups). ICAM-1 was found to be elevated only in the patients with NIDDM (p < 0.01). No significant differences in VCAM-1 concentration were found in the different groups of subjects. The concentration of plasma E-selectin was positively correlated with the glycated haemoglobin (r = 0.54, p < 0.01) in patients with IDDM and NIDDM. In the same patients E-selectin was not related to the concentrations of plasma lipids in spite of ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

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.

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
