Serum levels of non-carboxymethyllysine advanced glycation endproducts are correlated to severity of microvascular complications in patients with Type 1 diabetes.
Journal of Diabetes and its Complications 2003 January
We investigated whether serum levels of N-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), non-CML advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), or pentosidine are associated with severity of diabetic microvascular complications in patients with Type 1 diabetes. Serum levels of CML, non-CML AGE, and pentosidine were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 38 males and 47 females aged 31+/-8 years (mean+/-S.D.) with Type 1 diabetes for 18.7+/-7.0 years. There was a significant correlation between serum levels of CML or non-CML AGE and current HbA(1c) level (P<.01 and P<.05, respectively). The serum levels of non-CML AGE, but not CML or pentosidine, were significantly increased as normal renal status advanced to microalbuminuria, clinical nephropathy, and hemodialysis (P<.0001) and were positively correlated with urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in patients with Type 1 diabetes (P<.0001). A significant elevation of serum non-CML AGE was found in association with the severity of diabetic retinopathy (P<.0001). We found in the present study that CML levels were also increased in the stage of simple retinopathy, the early stage of clinically evident retinopathy (P<.05). Serum levels of non-CML AGE were significantly associated with the severity of diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy, suggesting a role of non-CML AGE in the progression of microvascular complications in patients with Type 1 diabetes. Since serum levels of CML were significantly increased in patients with simple retinopathy, CML may participate in the initiation of diabetic retinopathy.
