  • Title: [Adhesion molecules in type 2 diabetes].
    Author: Sokup A.
    Journal: Przegl Lek; 2005; 62(4):234-7. PubMed ID: 16229242.
    Abstract:
    Abnormal levels some of serum soluble adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VICAM-1, E-selectin, P-selectin, L-selectin) have been detected in type 2 diabetic patients. There is some evidence that levels of soluble adhesion molecules depend on glycemic control, disturbances of lipid metabolism, obesity and insulin resistance. There is a few of clinical data till now, which have been suggested the significance role of adhesion molecules in pathogenesis of microangiopathy and macroangiopathy in type 2 diabetics. It is possible that in some cases measurement of serum adhesion molecules may be useful for predicting, early diagnosing prophylactic and monitoring of treatment of diabetic type 2 complications. We can modify serum levels of soluble adhesion molecules by nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment.
