Postprandial deterioration of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes is decreased by vitamin C
Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, April 10th, 2006
"Endothelial dysfunction (ED) has been described in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We have described previously a diminution of flow-mediated arterial dilatation and, by implication, further ED in T2DM in response to postprandial lipemia (PPL) at 4 h. This is possibly mediated by oxidative stress/alteration of the nitric oxide (NO) pathway. T2DM subjects tend to exhibit both exaggerated and prolonged PPL. We therefore studied the relationship of PPL to the duration of ED in T2DM subjects and oxidative stress with or without the antioxidant,...
