“…Since the G allele is associated with a lower HSP70 expression, it seems reasonable to expect a lower risk of cardiovascular events in this genotype group. Along this line, a previous study by other investigators showed that diabetic patients had elevated serum anti-HSP70 antibody levels [45], while patients with a longer duration of diabetes had higher serum HSP70 levels than those with shorter disease duration [46]. Taken together, our result suggests that HSP may play an important role in the background inflammatory state amongst stable PD patients.…”

“…At the same time, Figueredo et al (1996) found that the mean titers of IgG and IgM class anti-HSP70 did not differ significantly between diabetic patients and nondiabetic control subjects. In contrast, the mean titer of anti-HSP70 IgA antibodies was significantly higher in diabetic sera than in the control in both types of diabetes.…”

“…Mean serum IgA in type 2 diabetics was, however, significantly higher than matched controls. This result suggested a possible role of anti-HSP70 IgA in the pathogenesis of the vascular complications in diabetes mellitus [202].…”
