Inflammation as a Therapeutic Target for Diabetic Neuropathies

Abstract: Diabetic neuropathies (DNs) are one of the most prevalent chronic complications of diabetes and a major cause of disability, high mortality, and poor quality of life. Given the complex anatomy of the peripheral nervous system and types of fiber dysfunction, DNs have a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. The treatment of DNs continues to be challenging, likely due to the complex pathogenesis that involves an array of systemic and cellular imbalances in glucose and lipids metabolism. These lead to the acti… Show more

“…Mechanisms postulated to mediate these benefits include: reduction in low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress (43), improvement in endothelial function, increased adiponectin concentrations, decreased blood coagulation, and improved apolipoprotein profiles with lower concentrations of oxidized LDL cholesterol (4042). However, the metabolic pathways through which the Mediterranean diet influences CVD risk remain largely unknown.…”

“…For example, abnormalities in nerve polyol, hexosamine, and protein kinase C pathways are reported, in parallel with changes in advanced glycation endproducts and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. Separately and in concert, these changes produce nervous system oxidative stress and apoptosis of both neurons and supporting glia (6, 7). …”

“…A number of other factors affect the activity of neurons, mitochondrial function, permeability of membranes and endothelial function. These include the activation of polyol aldose reductase pathway [17], activation of poly(ADP ribose) polymerase [18], and modified Na+/K+-ATPase pump function [19].…”
