| Popis | Pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) represents a potentially protective mechanism in hyperglycaemia due to shunting of glycolytic intermediates into PPP reactions. We hypothesized that thiamine status (plasma and erythrocyte levels of thiamine and its esters) together with genetic variability in key PPP enzymes transketolase (TKT), transaldolase and TKT-like might contribute to the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and mortality of diabetics. |
