Abstract
Oxidative stress and protein nonenzymatic glycation are key factors in diabetic-foot syndrome pathogenesis. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) progression involves excessive gluconolactone (GDL) production, linked to endothelial injury and diabetic arteriosclerosis. This study explored GDL's role in diabetic-foot syndrome using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to analyze sera from 75 T2DM patients (including 32 with diabetic-foot) and 36 healthy controls. GDL levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients and correlated with increased hemoglobin A1c glycation and reactive oxygen species production in endothelial cells, suggesting GDL's role in accelerating macrovascular arteriosclerosis and diabetic-foot syndrome. These findings highlight GDL's potential as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for diabetic macrovascular complications.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research (JCTR) is a premier journal in cardiovascular translational research.
JCTR is the journal of choice for authors seeking the broadest audience for emerging technologies, therapies and diagnostics, pre-clinical research, and first-in-man clinical trials.
JCTR''s intent is to provide a forum for critical evaluation of the novel cardiovascular science, to showcase important and clinically relevant aspects of the new research, as well as to discuss the impediments that may need to be overcome during the translation to patient care.
