Elevated micronuclei frequency in type 2 diabetes with high glycosylated hemoglobin.

Aim: The role of oxidative damage to DNA due to hyperglycemia is well known. In the current study we have evaluated the induction of micronuclei due to increased glycosylation in type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Forty-nine subjects divided into two groups of normoglycemic controls and type 2 diabetic cases were recruited in the study.
