Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders which opens the door for many diseases leading to various complications like neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with elevated level of oxidative stress, which is one of the most important factors responsible for the development of chronic complications of this disease. Antioxidants like reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase protects cells against oxidative damage.

Purpose: Our present study suggests that hyperglycemia induced oxidative stress leads to various complications in T2DM patients. Here we investigated oxidative stress markers in lymphocytes of healthy control and... |
