Опубликована: Июль 28, 2021

Abstract Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic, chronic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and elevated blood glucose levels. Although large drug portfolio exists to keep the levels under control, these medications are not without side effects. More importantly, once diagnosed rarely reversible. Dysfunctions in kidney, retina, cardiovascular system, neurons, liver represent common complications of diabetes, which again lack effective therapies that can reverse organ injury. Overall, molecular mechanisms how type develops leads irreparable damage remain elusive. This review particularly focuses on novel targets may play role pathogenesis diabetes. Further research eventually pave way for treatment—or even prevention—of along with its complications.

Abstract Vascular complications of diabetes pose a severe threat to human health. Prevention and treatment protocols based on single vascular complication are no longer suitable for the long-term management patients with diabetes. Diabetic panvascular disease (DPD) is clinical syndrome in which vessels various sizes, including macrovessels microvessels cardiac, cerebral, renal, ophthalmic, peripheral systems diabetes, develop atherosclerosis as common pathology. Pathological manifestations DPDs usually manifest macrovascular atherosclerosis, well microvascular endothelial function impairment, basement membrane thickening, microthrombosis. Cardiac, microangiopathy coexist microangiopathy, while renal retinal predominantly microangiopathic. The following associations exist between DPDs: numerous similar molecular mechanisms, risk-predictive relationships diseases. Aggressive glycemic control combined early comprehensive intervention key prevention treatment. In addition widely recommended metformin, glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, latest aldose reductase peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ agonizts, glucokinases mitochondrial energy modulators, etc. under active development. proposed obtain more systematic care requires center focusing This would leverage advantages cross-disciplinary approach achieve better integration pathogenesis therapeutic evidence.
