Post-meal coagulation activation in diabetes mellitus: the effect of acarbose

Abstract: It has been previously demonstrated that hyperglycaemia activates haemostasis; diabetes mellitus is considered a thrombosis-prone state. Acarbose, by inhibiting dietary carbohydrate absorption, reduces post-meal hyperglycaemia. In this study we evaluated the effect of post-meal hyperglycaemia on two markers of coagulation activation: prothrombin fragments 1 + 2 and D-dimer. Seventeen non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients maintained on diet therapy alone were randomly assigned to receive- with a cross-over st… Show more

“…These free radicals induce a biochemical cascade resulting in increased inflammation, hypercoaguability and endothelial dysfunction that favors vasoconstriction and elevation of blood pressure, leading to diabetes and early cardiovascular disease (Ceriello et al, 1996;Monnier et al, 2006;O'Keefe and Bell, 2007;O'Keefe et al, 2008). Improvements in postprandial glycemia and the increase in satiety observed in this study can at least in part offer explanation for reductions in blood pressure, inflammatory and coagulation factors observed in our longer-term study with Salba (Vuksan et al, 2007).…”

“…This is based on a previous study in which the standard deviation of F1 + 2 AUC was 150 nmol ⁄ l · min. [27]. Results for insulin, FFA, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, CRP, ICAM, vWF and total insulin dose were logarithmically transformed before analysis.…”

“…24,25 Ceriello et al and others have shown that postprandial hyperglycemia is associated with an increase in tissue oxidative stress. [26][27][28][29] This appeared to be true not only for DM patients, but also for individuals with IGT. 30,31 Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress might induce endothelial dysfunction, resulting in pathological damage to the cardiovascular system.…”
