Abstract
The Advanced Glycation End Products (AGE) binding with its receptor can increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through specific signaling mediators. The effect of superoxide (O2-) and O2- mediated ROS and reactive nitrogen species depends on their concentration and location of formation. Nitric oxide (NO) has anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties and a vasodilation effect, but NO can be deactivated by reacting with O2-. This reaction between NO and O2- produces the potent oxidant ONOO-. Therefore, ONOO-'s regulatory role in AGEs in diabetic cardiovascular complications must considered as a regulator of cardiovascular complications in diabetes.
