Antioxidant Activity and Oxidative Stress

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and inflammatory disease characterized by hyperglycemia that increases reactive oxygen species, reduces nitric oxide (NO) and impairs the function of several organs including the kidney, resulting in diabetic nephropathy (DN). NO is an important vasodilator that protects blood vessels, and its decrease leads to an increase in the NFkB transcription factor, resulting in the production of inflammatory cytokines, contributing to DN. Emphasizing that mortality from diabetes is four to five times higher in females.
