Popis: Arteriogenesis is an important mechanism in improving the outcome of ischemic vascular diseases. However in patients who suffer from diabetes, this compensational collateral capacity is impaired. Hyperglycemia is the initial factor of diabetes induced vascular damage, but the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. The advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) precursor methylglyoxal (MGO) is a highly reactive oxo-aldehyde, which can be detoxified by the enzyme glyoxalase-I. We hypothesized that the reduced collateral artery remodeling capacity in diabetes is, at least partially, caused by intracellular glycation and defective regulation of the GLO-I enzyme.
