Assessment of Dna Strand Breaks and Total Antioxidant Status in Type 2 Diabetic Patients With and Without Complications- A Case-Control Study

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the total antioxidant status (TAS) and the extent of DNA strand breaks (damage) as a measure of oxidative stress biomarkers in patients with Type 2 diabetes (with and without complications) and controls.Methods: Blood samples were collected from 200 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=100, with complications and n=100, without complications) and 100 healthy individuals. Oxidative DNA damage was evaluated using alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay). TAS was assessed… Show more

“…Again, we can refer the previous diabetic microvascular complications to the oxidative damage that happens when the ROS level overpowers defensive mechanisms, leading to a cellular imbalance between pro-and antioxidant factors [32]. Elevated levels of oxidation markers such as 8-oxodG most likely prompt to strand breaks and oxidative base changes; and multiple signaling pathways that may likewise add to the unfavorable impacts of glucotoxicity on cellular functions [33,34].…”

“…This may be due to hyperglycemia, which has a direct effect on TAS in T2DM patients. The previous finding also suggests that hyperglycemia contributes to increased oxidative stress and decreased TAS, which would lead to further increase in DNA damage in patients with diabetes and its complications [33].…”

“…Those 6-TG-resistant mutants with both PCR sequences intact are mostly likely to carry point mutations in the gpt structural gene. Loss or alteration of one or both bands suggests more complex chromosomal deletions [27] and/or rearrangements involving gpt [28][29]. fig.…”
