Published in Health and Medicine Week, October 2nd, 2006

According to recently published research from the United States, glucose control with insulin results in reduction of NF-kappa B-binding activity in mononuclear blood cells of patients with recently manifested type 1 diabetes.

"Chronic elevated blood glucose levels are associated with the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). Hyperglycaemia and AGEs have been shown to induce activation of the redox-sensitive transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B).

"To validate the hypothesis that the maintenance of normal glucose levels results in the reduction of NF-kappa B-binding activity in vivo, the redox-sensitive transcription...
