Study the profile of some antioxidant markers in diabetic mellitus and non-diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease
Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) claim the lives of millions worldwide. Objective: Evaluate the levels of some antioxidant biomarkers in sera of patients with CVDs with and without diabetes mellitus type 2. Materials and Methods: Includes 100 samples in 68 patients (40 with CVDs and 28 CVDs with diabetic), and 32 healthy subjects. Results: Serum (Albumin, thiol, thiol/T.protein, amine, free amine/ T.protein, carbonyl, carbonyl/ T.protein, and Ischemia modified albumin (IMA)) showed a stronger response, a significant rise in carbonyl and carbonyl/TP, and a significant reduction in thiol and thiol/TP in the patients with CVDs with T2D compared to CVDs may be a good factor to differentiate them or predict more serious complications. Conclusions: Oxidation markers may be useful in monitoring CVDs with and without diabetes.
