“…This study provides unambiguous evidence that T1D patients have significantly lower serum MPO levels compared with controls. In support of our results, MPO activity was found to be lower in the neutrophils from T1D patients, an indication of impaired neutrophil function (45,46) and lower intracellular MPO of neutrophils was also observed in T2D patients (47). However, two previous studies with very small sample sizes (30 and 37 patients, respectively) found marginally higher plasma MPO levels in T1D patients compared with controls (48,49).…”

“…Neutrophils recovered from patients with type 2 diabetes have been shown to exhibit impaired bactericidal activity (6,15,41,48). To determine whether leukocytes from db/db mice would show a similar defect, we performed S. aureus killing assays with mouse blood.…”

“…A consistent defect in the humoral or cell-mediated host immune system of diabetic patients has not been demonstrated. However, deficiencies in the host innate immune response are apparent since clinical investigations have indicated that phagocytes from type 2 diabetic patients are in a heightened state of oxidative stress and have impaired bactericidal activity and chemotaxis (6,15,41,48). Clearly, numerous pathophysiologic perturbations contribute to the recurrence of soft tissue and bone infections in the lower extremity of patients with diabetes.…”

“…The investigators have found that MPO activity in neutrophils of patients with DM was lower than controls (p< 0.05). Wykretowicz et al (2) have shown that intracellular killing activity and MPO activity of the PMNs in patients with DM sinificantly decreased (p<0.01, p<0.01). The researchers have claimed that the hyperglycemia seems to be one of the most likely cause of the observed disturbances.…”

“…It is known that PMN functions are deteriorated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients; thus, they become more susceptible against infections. The deterioration of PMN functions, expecially the decrease in their intracellular killing activity of these patients was demonstrated by several studies (1,2).…”
