[The total antioxidant capacity and low-molecular antioxidant concentration in plasma of type-2 diabetes patients with different stage of metabolic compensation and concomitant diabetic nephropathy].

Unlabelled: The experimental and clinical researches suggest important role of advanced glycation end products (AGE) and oxidative stress in pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy also including nephropathy. It is especially pointed at by the research done on inadequately controlled long-term diabetes. The aim of the study was to asses the total antioxidant capacity of plasma as well as the concentration of low-molecular antioxidants in plasma in diabetes type 2 patients in different stage of metabolic compensation and concomitant diabetic nephropathy.
