Abstract
Objective To investigate the changes of serum homocysteine and it s relationship with oxidative stress and diabetic microangiopathy.Methods Eighty health participants were recruited as control 100 type 2 diabetis patients without diabetic microangiopathy were recruited as DM group,100 type 2 diabetis patients with diabetic nephropathy were recruited as DN group,and 100 type 2 diabetis patients with diabetic retinopathy were recruited as DR group.Their serum levels of homocysteine,malonaldehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione(GSH)were measured.Results The homocysteine was(98.86 ± 21.46),(198.95 ±19.35),(138.65 ± 15.25)ng/L in the DM,DN and DR group respectively,which were signigicantly higher than that of(62.48 ± 15.36)ng/L in the control group(F =7.95,P ＜ 0.01).MDA was(17.49 ± 1.64),(22.47 ± 1.86)and(22.47 ± 1.86)mmol/L,which was significantly higher than that of(11.86 ± 0.48)mmol/L in the control group(F =6.89,P ＜0.01).The homocysteine and MDA in the DN and DR group were both significantly higher than those in the DM group(P ＜ 0.01).The SOD and GSH was(107.80 ± 15.62)mg/L and(179.26 ± 25.8)mg/L in the DM group,(79.86 ± 14.63)mg/L and(143.36 ± 21.75)mg/L in the DN group,(89.34 ± 12.75)mg/L and(156.96 ± 19.35)mg/L in the DR group,which were significantly higher than those of(128.32 ± 19.21)mg/L and(237.38 ± 27.31)mg/L in the control group(F =7.89 and 8.76 respectively,P＜0.01).The SOD and GSH in the DN and DR group were both significantly lower than those in the DM group(P ＜ 0.01),and the DN group was significantly lower than the DR group(P ＜ 0.01)Serum homocysteine was positively correlated with MDA(r =0.79,P ＜ 0.05),and negtively correlated with SOD and GSH(r =-0.71 and-0.78,P ＜0.01).Conclusion Diabetic microangiopathy patients have higher serum homocysteine level and severe oxidative stress.Oxidative stress were related to higher serum homocysteine level.The higher serum homocysteine level and oxidative stress might play an important role in development of diabetic Microangiopathy Key words: Type 2 diabetis mellitus; Diabetic microvascular Complication; Homocysteine; Oxidative Stress
