Diabetes mellitus (DM) is believed to promote oxidative stress, which potentially provokes and accelerates complications in conditions such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular, peripheral arterial, and cerebrovascular diseases. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant therapeutic value of adding an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitora low dose of captoprilas adjunct therapy to the treatment regimen of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Participants were distributed among two different groups: control and treated. T2DM patients in the treated group (group 2) were given a supplement of the ACE inhibitor capotopril, 12.5 mg/day, in addition to standard treatment. All subjects were interviewed for clinical examination. All patients in group 2 were re-examined monthly for 3 months to evaluate FBS, HbA1c, MDA, total GSH, reduced GSH, GSSG, and ox-LDL. All parameters were repeated for patients in group 2 after 1 and 3 months. The study showed improvements in the glycemic and oxidative stress status with the addition of a low dose of captoprilnot very prominent but statistically significant. Reduced GSH decreased by 73.6% (P = 0.016) and the TBARS level was decreased by 58.3% (P = 0.018) after 3 months of treatment, while ox-LDL was decreased by 26.4% (P = 0.036) at the end of treatment. In summary, the clinical improvements in the disease indices toward normal levels make the use of low doses of ACE inhibitors as adjunct therapy in T2DM worth pursuing. Thus, investigations directed at preventing or protecting against oxidative damage may open a new window for treatment of diabetes mellitus.
