Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus increases the risk of cerebro/cardiovascular events, since this disease leads to the development of premature atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis associated with diabetes accelerates diabetic macroangiopathy. Microparticles (MPs) released from cells (MPs) may play a role in the normal hemostatic response to vascular injury and a role in clinical diseases because they express phospholipids, which function as procoagulants. MPs were first observed as released vesicles from platelets following adhesion to vessel walls. Currently, the number of clinical disorders associated with elevated MPs is increasing. A few studies on the potential role of platelet-derived MPs in diabetic complications can be reported. MPs are elevated in diabetic patients however studies have found differences in the MP profile in relation to disease type and the presence or absence of MPs. Levels of platelet-derived MPs and monocyte-derived MPs have been shown to correlate with diabetic complications or the extent of diabetic retinopathy, which is associated with microvascular damage. Elevated endothelial cell-derived MP levels are predictive for the presence of coronary artery lesions, and it is a more significant independent risk factor than length of diabetic disease, lipid levels or presence of hypertension. Interestingly, elevated endothelial cell-derived MP levels are predictive in identifying a subpopulation of diabetic patients without typical anginal symptoms who have angiographic evidence of coronary artery disease. We will present evidence for a dynamic role of MPs in type 2 diabetes.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
