“…Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease that is mediated by monocyte derived macrophages which accumulate in arterial plaques and become activated to release cytokines that cause tissue damage [88]. Atherosclerotic plaques in type II diabetic patients have increased inflammatory properties and worse cardiovascular outcomes than plaques observed in non-diabetic subjects [89]. We reported that systemic inflammation precedes either hyperglycemia or oxidative stress in db/db mice [90].…”

“…As evidence accumulates favoring the role of inflammation during the different phases of atherosclerosis, it is likely that markers of inflammation such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) may be increasingly used to provide additional insights on the biological status of atherosclerotic lesions. Several studies have shown that CRP and proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis- α (TNF- α ), are elevated in type II diabetic patients [89, 91]. CRP is considered to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and of the outcome of acute coronary syndromes [92].…”

“…The increased risk of cardiovascular events appears to be related to a large number of factors, including hyperactivation of the reninangiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), 1 direct vascular damage caused by hyperglycemia in diabetics, 2 systemic subclinical inflammation, 3 aberrant modulation of adipokine synthesis 4 and a pathological increase in the vascular remodeling rate. 5 Angiotensin II (Ang II), the major actor of the RAAS, acts through two receptor subtypes: Ang II type 1 (AT1R) and type 2 (AT2R).…”
