“…This suggests a lower amount of damaged DNA fragments migrating from the nucleus, which is not what would be expected in the samples from subjects with diabetes. We had expected to observe a greater level of DNA damage due to a state of increased oxidative stress associated with diabetes [5]. Previous studies using the Comet assay on human whole blood samples to investigate DNA damage in obesity found a positive association between DNA damage, BMI, antioxidant status and MDA concentration [30].…”

“…In the case of increased levels of ROS, cells have defensive antioxidant systems that scavenge ROS and repair oxidative damage. Increased oxidative stress is associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes and increased DNA damage [4,5]. This association may be attributed to the role of oxidative stress in endothelial dysfunction, which plays a central role in both type 2 diabetes and obesity [6] Over recent years a number of measurements of oxidative stress have been developed, although few hold the reliability and specificity that is required for their use in a more clinical setting.…”

“…Studies reported that NO x levels decrease [36,37], increase [38,39], or unchanged [40,41] in T2DM patients compared with control subjects. Our results regarding NO x levels are consistent with studies that found unchanged levels compared with healthy controls.…”

“…Our results regarding NO x levels are consistent with studies that found unchanged levels compared with healthy controls. Tatsch et al [37] found decreased serum NO x in T2DM and suggested that increased formation of O 2 •– during oxidative stress in vascular wall may inhibit NO-mediated endothelial function by formation of peroxynitrite. In the present study, no change in SOD activities were found in the diabetic groups from controls which may protect NO • from deleterious O 2 •– and so, NO x levels in diabetic patients did not differ from that of normal control.…”

“…These patients are predisposed to developing vascular complications, nephropathy being one of the most common and dangerous (reviewed in [1]). DNA damage by endogenous free radicals and further ineffective repair of these lesions is considered to be one of the aetiological factors of DM [2,3]. Oxidative stress and abnormal production of nitric oxide (NO) are the main causes of an increased DNA breakage in DM.…”
