Role of Copper Ion in the Pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: Abstract. reactive oxygen species (ros) are induced under diabetic conditions and are likely associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. it is also known that ros production is facilitated in the presence of copper ion through the Fenton reaction. The aim of this study was to examine the involvement of copper ion in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and to evaluate the potential usefulness of a copper chelating agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. First, both serum copper ion and ROS levels in… Show more

“…We carried out enzymatic digestions of B20-30, in the presence or absence of copper(II), aluminum(III) and zinc(II), metals chosen for their important role in neurodegenerative diseases [24,26,66,67]. Moreover, since copper enters the cell as copper(I) through high-affinity plasma membrane copper transporters or low affinity permeases [68] and IDE is mainly cytosolic [1], it is interesting to analyze the effect of both oxidation states on B (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) processing. Furthermore, as silver belongs to the same group of copper and silver(I) has the same chemistry of copper(I), we have also performed studies using this ion, in order to have a replication of the copper(I) results without any possible invalidation due to copper(I) oxidation problems (although we worked in a reducing environment, copper(I) could be oxidized to copper(II) during the incubation with the enzyme).…”

“…To assess how metal ions affect the IDE enzymatic activity, steady state kinetics on the B (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) peptide in the presence and in the absence of the above mentioned ions were performed. Fig.…”
