Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects of insulin action, insulin secretion or both [1]. Diabetes has taken place as one of the most important diseases worldwide, reaching epidemic proportions. Global estimates predict that the proportion of adult population with diabetes will increase 69% for the year 2030 [2]. Hyperglycemia in the course of diabetes usually leads to the development of microvascular complications, and diabetic patients are more prone to accelerated atherosclerotic macrovas cular disease. These complications account for premature mortality and most of the social and economical burden in the long term of diabetes [3]. Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress plays a role in the pathogenesis of diabe tes mellitus and its complications [4]. Hyperglycemia increases oxidative stress, which con tributes to the impairment of the main processes that fail during diabetes, insulin action and insulin secretion. In addition, antioxidant mechanisms are diminished in diabetic patients, which may further augment oxidative stress [5, 6]. Several studies have addressed the possi ble participation of dietary antioxidants, such as vitamins, in ameliorating the diabetic state and retarding the development of diabetes complications [7, 8]. The aim of this chapter is to revise the current knowledge of the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and its complications, and to discuss the existing evi dence of the effects of vitamins as antioxidant therapy for this disease. Most of the metabolic pathways were developed during this anaerobic stage of life, in which oxygen came later. Cyanobacteria started producing oxygen from photosynthesis, which raised the atmospheric oxygen, and favored those or ganisms which have evolved into eukaryotic cells with mitochondria, able to use oxygen for a more efficient energy production [9]. This oxidative shielding acts as a defense mechanism for either decreasing cellular uptake of toxic pathogens or chemicals from the environment, or to kill the cell by apoptosis and thus avoid the spreading to neighboring cells [9]. Su2 peroxide is generated by oxidases via one-electron reduction of oxygen and the oxidation of their substrates.

The X chromosome with most of the genes turned off is called the inactive X chromosome order 4 mg medrol amex. If a somatic cell contains more than one X chromosome best 4mg medrol, all but one are inactivated. X inactivation occurs early in embryogenesis among all cells of the bastocyst at about the th 16 day of embryonic life. Either the X chromosome inherited from the mother (called Xm) or the X chromosome inherited from the father (called Xp) may be inactivated with equal likelihood. Once X inactivation occurs in an embryonic cell, the same X chromosome remains inactivated in all of the progeny of that cell. On average, half of the cells in a female have an inactive Xm & the other half of the cells have an inactive Xp. However, some tissues (& some women ) may have substantially more cells with one or the other X chromosome active by chance. Some essential genes must be expressed in 2 copies from both X chromosomes for normal growth & development. So if one of these essential genes is absent (as occurs in Turner syndrome), it results in abnormal growth & development. Likewise, the presence of an extra X chromosome (as occurs in Klinefelter syndrome) leads to abnormal phenotype. The inactive X-chromosome may be visible in an interphase cell as a condensed mass of chromatin called the Barr body (X chromatin). The maximum number of Barr bodies seen in a cell is equal to the number of inactivated X chromosomes (i. Counting the number of Barr bodies in somatic cells (usually in smears of buccal mucosa) is the basis of the sex chromatin test for sex chromatin aneuplody. This test is no longer used in the Western countries because karyotyping is much more accurate. And most of the genes on the X chromosome do not have homologues on the Y chromosome. Despite the fact that females have double doses of most X-linked genes in comparison to males, the amount of X linked products is usually about the same in males & females. A female who carries an X-linked recessive mutation on one of her 2 X chromosomes may express the mutant phenotype if most of her cells happen to have inactivated the X chromosome carrying the normal gene. A female carrier of an X-linked recessive disease may not detectable by gene product assays (e. Trisomy of the sex chromosomes produces phenotypic changes because of the triple dosage of the essential genes on the X chromosomes (1 copy of these essential genes on the active X chromosome & 2 copies of the activated escapee essential genes on the inactivated X chromosome). Points 3 & 4 above illustrate that aneuploidy of the sex chromosomes is better tolerated than the aneuploidy of the autosomes. Klinefelter syndrome - is a disorder that occurs when there are at least 2 X chromosomes & 1 or more Y chromosomes. In addition, it also shows increased plasma estradiol levels (by unknown mechanism). Turner syndrome - is a disorder that occurs when there is a complete or partial monosomy of the X chromosome. This karyotypic heterogeneity associated with Turners syndrome is responsible for significant variations in phenotype. Disorders of sexual differentiation (Sexual ambiguity) - are said to be present when genetic sex, gonadal sex, or genital sex of an individual are discordant. No matter how many X chromosomes are present, the presence of a single Y chromosome leads to testicular development & a genetic male. The gene responsible for the development of the testes is localized to the Y chromosome. Ductal sex - depends on the presence of derivatives of the Mullerian or Wolffian ducts. Sexual ambiguity is present whenever there is discordance among these various criteria for determining sex. A female pseudohermaphrodite has a ovaries but male external genitalia (or the external genitalia are not clearly male). Female pseudohermaphroditism - is caused by exposure of the fetus to increased androgenic hormones during the early part of gestation as occurs in congenital adrenal hyperplasia, androgen-secreting ovarian or adrenal tumor in the mother, or hormones administered to the mother during pregnancy. Male pseudohermaphroditism - has a Y chromosome & only testes but the genital ducts or the external genitalia are either ambiguous or completely female. Disorders with multifactorial inheritance - are more common than mendelian disorders. The disease clinically manifests only when the combined influences of the genes & the environment cross a certain threshold. The risk of expressing a multifactorial disorder partly depends on the number of inherited mutant genes. Hence, if a patient has more severe expression of the disease, then his relatives have a greater risk of expressing the disease (because they have a higher chance inheriting a 135 greater number of the mutant gene).
