Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study is to study impairment of white blood cell function in patients
with type II diabetes.
|
| Study Summary: |
|
Leucocytes from poorly controlled diabetes exhibit aberrant chemotaxis, increased
susceptibility to bacterial infection, leukotriene production, lysosomal enzyme release,
proinflammatory cytokine expression and production of reactive oxygen species. Aberrant
glucose concentration in diabetics affects functions of peripheral blood system as well as
the immune system leading to impaired host defense. Impaired wound healing is a serious
complication associated with diabetes. We hypothesized that impairment in leukocyte function
results in dysfunctional inflammatory response in diabetic wounds. The proposed studies
focus on characterizing mechanisms that will improve our understanding of the dysfunctional
inflammatory response resulting in non-healing chronic wounds in diabetics.
