Abstract

Subclinical inflammation has been implicated in the initiation and/or progression of atherosclerosis. Diabetes mellitus and obesity are risk factors for atherosclerosis, and asymptomatic low grade inflammation occurs prior to overt vascular lesions in these patients. In contrast to adults, little information exists concerning low grade inflammation in young type 1 diabetes and juvenile obesity. To investigate low grade inflammation and immune activation in juvenile diabetes mellitus and obesity. hs-CRP, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), C-peptide, insulin, cortisol, vitamin B12, folic acid, leptin, and homocysteine were determined in 148 patients with juvenile type 1 diabetes, 86 obese children and 142 normal weighted age-matched healthy controls. Intima-media thickness (IMT) and lumen diameter of both common carotid arteries (CCA) was measured by ultrasonography in 52 healthy pediatric controls, 10 diabetics, and 34 obese juveniles. Serum hs-CRP was significantly elevated in patients with type 1 diabetes (p < 0.0001), and obese children (p < 0.0001) as compared to the control group. The obese juveniles (p < 0.0001) and the diabetics (p < 0.0001) showed significantly increased values for IMT of CAAs. Levels of homocystei...Continue Reading
