Influence of Diabetes on Circulating Apoptotic Microparticles in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C.
In Vivo
May 2018
Infectious Disease Department, Division of Infectious Disease and Hepatology Wroclaw Medical University, Wroclaw, Poland.
Background/aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) frequently occurs in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and is associated with atherosclerosis, in which circulating microparticles (MPs) play an important role. We asked whether the presence of DM affects endothelial-derived (EMPs) and platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) levels; and whether MPs levels associate with biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with CHC.
Materials And Methods: Overall, 136 patients were enrolled in the study, 86 CHC patients (41 with DM with moderate glycemic control), 20 outpatients with DM and 30 controls.
