Abstract

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is an endothelium-derived vasoactive peptide with mitogen properties. Increased circulating ET-1 levels were found in patients with atherosclerosis as well as in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) suggesting a role in the pathogenesis of these disorders. The aim of the present study was to ascertain the influence of the NIDDM on plasma ET-1 levels in patients with advanced atherosclerotic lesions. The circulating ET-1 levels were measured in 16 NIDDM patients (68.4 +/- 8.4 years) with macroangiopathy and in ten patients (65.3 +/- 11 years) with atherosclerosis without NIDDM. Twenty-two healthy subjects (43.1 +/- 18.3 years) served as controls. Circulating ET-1 levels were higher in NIDDM patients (6.8 +/- 2.8 pg/mL) than both controls (3.1 +/- 1 pg/mL; p < 0.001) and patients with vascular disease but without NIDDM (4.7 +/- 1.6 pg/mL; p < 0.04). No significant relationship was found between age and ET-1 concentrations, and no differences were noted between men and women in the control group. This study demonstrated that circulating ET-1 levels are increased in patients with atherosclerosis and that those with NIDDM showed the highest ET-1 levels. These observations strongly support...Continue Reading
