[Free radical processes in the pathogenesis of alloxan diabetes]
Abstract:
Presents the results of studies of carbohydrate and peroxide metabolism, of antioxidant content in rats with alloxan diabetes under various levels of alimentary antioxidant consumption. Alloxan administration was found to result in biochemical and morphologic shifts characteristic of diabetes mellitus. The development of these changes runs against the background of enhanced free-radical processes. Simulation of alloxan diabetes in deficiency of alimentary antioxidants is conducive to the development of alloxan diabetes. The authors discuss the contribution of free-radical processes to the pathogenesis of alloxan diabetes and come to a conclusion on the usefulness of including antioxidant drugs in to a complex of therapeutic measures in this condition.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...
