| Popis: | There are many well-documented errors of metabolism involving genetic defects that affect carbohydrate utilization. The array of disorders includes the defective utilization of glucose, as well as enzymatic deficiencies in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway. Besides, there is considerable literature about metabolic syndrome and diabetes. However, the main problem of their origin remains obscure. Also, it is presently beyond doubt that there are various causes of insulin resistance. The development of insulin resistance may be associated not only with insulin production disorders or presence of insulin antagonists but also with modification of the number of receptors and sensitivity of peripheral tissues. The insulin resistance originates from insulin signal transmission defects at its initial stages. It is presently uncertain which mechanisms of adaptation regulation are activated or should be activated under hyperglycemia conditions. This is the main problem of the selection of strategy of hyperglycemia treatment but it is important that aldehydes - the secondary products of lipid peroxidation and protein glycation (malondialdehyde and methylglyoxal) - make a contribution to abnormal metabolism. As far as the role of methylglyoxal in inhibition of antioxidant enzymes is concerned, the involvement of the ketoaldehyde in such processes as oxidative stress, cell proliferation control, and carbohydrate metabolism disorders does not cast any doubt. |
