Evaluation of angiotensin-converting enzyme and adenosine deaminase polymorphisms in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
A.C.B. Domingos Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, with changes in carbohydrate, fatty acid and protein metabolism. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) is the most common form of this disease, which affects approximately 90% of people who have DM. It is characterized mainly by changes in the […]
Oxidative stress in sickle cell patients: influence of haplotypes and specific medication
E. Belini Júnior The main cause of sickle cell disease (SCD) is a single b-globin gene mutation that leads to the unusual hemoglobin (Hb) called Hb S with characteristics that differ from those of normal Hb. SCD is characterized by a multifaceted pathophysiology, which involves multiple changes in sickle erythrocytes, vaso-occlusive episodes, hemolysis, inflammatory mediator […]
