| Popis | Results of this study indicate dysfunction/deficit of intracellular active form of thiamine in diabetics which serves as a cofactor for transketolase - the key enzyme of pentose phosphate pathway which is considered one of the few potentially counterbalancing pathways opposing hyperglycemia effects. Ascertained functional thiamine deficiency in diabetes, especially when accompanied with advanced renal disease, could be potentially a critical abnormality influencing the activity of pentose phosphate pathway, development if hyperglycemia-mediated damage and diabetic complications and also target of event. pharmacologic interventions. |
