BSMI single nucleotide polymorphism in vitamin D receptor gene is associated with decreased circulatory levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D among micro and macrovascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the intron 8 is a well characterized SNP which has previously been linked to various diseases including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). However, the association of this SNP with micro and macrovascular complications of T2DM remains poorly studied. Hence, the present study was designed to investigate the association of VDR gene SNP with complications of T2DM (disease phenotype) and correlated it with the serum levels of (25[OH]D) (intermediate phenotype) along with other clinical risk factors of T2DM.

Association of NF-E2 Related Factor 2 (Nrf2) and inflammatory cytokines in recent onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

We investigated the association of redox regulator Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and inflammatory cytokines as well as clinical remission in patients with recent onset type 2 diabetes (DM). Blood was collected from 180 DM patients (105 males/75 females) and 150 control subjects (86 males/64 females). Blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile and Nrf2 levels were determined along with circulatory cytokines in study subjects.

Association of A1538G and C2437T single nucleotide polymorphisms in heat shock protein-70 genes with diabetic nephropathy among South Indian population.

Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease, characterized by progressive albuminuria and conferring additional risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. The crucial role of heat-shock proteins (HSPs) on renal function in patients with DN has been well documented. The present study was aimed to understand the association of gene variants on the susceptibility of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and DN.

Crystal structure of 2,2,4-trimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetra-hydro-1H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepine hemihydrate.

The title compound, C12H18N2·0.5H2O, crystallizes with two independent organic mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit, together with a water mol-ecule of crystallization. The diazepine rings in each mol-ecule have a chair conformation.

Crystal structure of bis-(prop-2-yn-1-yl) 5-nitro-isophthalate.

The whole mol-ecule of the title compound, C14H9NO6, is generated by twofold rotation symmetry; the twofold axis bis-ects the nitro group and the benzene ring. The nitro group is inclined to the benzene ring by 14.42 (9)°.
