Popis: Impaired trace element metabolism may be involved in some of the metabolic dysfunctions, and contribute to the development of vascular complications in diabetic patients. In order to investigate the relationships among diabetes mellitus, trace element status, leukocyte activation and vascular complications, 55 type 2 diabetic patients (34 with vascular complications and 21 without vascular complications) and 50 non-diabetic control subjects were studied. The mean leukocyte count (p
