We determined the distribution frequency of angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in 111 Japanese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) of at least 10 years duration (80 patients with diabetic nephropathy and 31 patients without nephropathy) and 76 healthy Japanese controls. Patients with diabetic nephropathy showed an excess of the ID genotype compared with patients without nephropathy (p < 0.02) and less of the II genotype compared with healthy controls (p < 0.01) and patients without nephropathy (p < 0.01). NIDDM patients with the II genotype have a decreased risk for the development of diabetic nephropathy.

Aim: To determine the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors for heart failure (HF) among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis, using J-DREAMS database, was conducted from December 2015 to January 2020 with type 2 diabetes. The primary objectives were to describe patient characteristics stratified by HF history at baseline and new HF events during follow-up.

(), an edible brown alga, is rich in isophloroglucin A (IPA) phlorotannin compounds and is effective in preventing diseases, including diabetes. We evaluated its anti-glycation ability, intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging activity, inhibitory effect on the accumulation of intracellular MGO/MGO-derived advanced glycation end products (AGE), and regulation of downstream signaling pathways related to the AGE-receptor for AGEs (RAGE) interaction. IPA (0.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) affects about one-third of patients with diabetes and can lead to end-stage renal disease despite numerous trials aimed at improving diabetic management. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) represent a new frontier in DN research, as increasing evidence suggests their involvement in the occurrence and progression of DN. A growing body of evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in DN signaling pathways might serve as novel biomarkers or therapeutic targets, although this remains to be fully explored.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder, and diabetic erectile dysfunction (DMED) is one of its common complications. The differentiation of the types of erectile dysfunction (ED) is fundamental to treatment, yet there is a lack of simple and efficacious tools for this purpose in clinical practice. In this study, we endeavor to predict ED types using commonly available clinical data from diabetic patients, aiming to develop and assess a risk prediction model for organic erectile dysfunction in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
