The article presents the results of a study of class G autoantibodies to oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus which have had non-Qmyocardial infarction and their connection with disturbances of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, the levels of cytokines. It was identified the decrease level of IgG to ox-LDL in the serum of these patients compared with the control group and patients without diabetes. The study found that with increasing degree of insulin resistance, the concentration of class G autoantibodies to ox-LDL in diabetic postinfarction patients was reduced. It was also revealed their direct connection with the level of anti-inflammatory IL-10. The data obtained may be evidence of the negative impact of carbohydrate metabolism disorders on the level of IgG autoantibodies to ox-LDL and the data may refer to their protective role in type 2 diabetes mellitus with concomitant atherosclerosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
