Abstract— Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of diabetes and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to the development of DPN have not been fully studied and are still debatable. Currently, immune-mediated mechanisms of its development are being discussed. The aim of this study was to estimate the content of TNF-α in the blood serum of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) complicated by DPN and to assess the significance of this factor in the development and progression of DPN. An open comparative study was conducted with the participation of 83 patients with DM2 of different duration. In patients with clinical manifestations of DPN and long-term course of DM2 (group 2), the level of TNF-α was significantly higher compared to patients with DM2 and duration of DPN less than 2 years. Both studied groups of patients with DM2 and DPN had a higher level of TNF-α in comparison with the control group. Our data indicate a more aggressive immune-mediated process that develops with a longer duration of DM2 and makes a negative contribution to the functioning of the peripheral nerve fiber.
期刊介绍：
Neurochemical Journal (Neirokhimiya) provides a source for the communication of the latest findings in all areas of contemporary neurochemistry and other fields of relevance (including molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, neuroimmunology, pharmacology) in an afford to expand our understanding of the functions of the nervous system. The journal presents papers on functional neurochemistry, nervous system receptors, neurotransmitters, myelin, chromaffin granules and other components of the nervous system, as well as neurophysiological and clinical aspects, behavioral reactions, etc. Relevant topics include structure and function of the nervous system proteins, neuropeptides, nucleic acids, nucleotides, lipids, and other biologically active components.
The journal is devoted to the rapid publication of regular papers containing the results of original research, reviews highlighting major developments in neurochemistry, short communications, new experimental studies that use neurochemical methodology, descriptions of new methods of value for neurochemistry, theoretical material suggesting novel principles and approaches to neurochemical problems, presentations of new hypotheses and significant findings, discussions, chronicles of congresses, meetings, and conferences with short presentations of the most sensational and timely reports, information on the activity of the Russian and International Neurochemical Societies, as well as advertisements of reagents and equipment.
