Type-2 Diabetes



               Patients suffering from diabetes-caused oxidative stress have



               a  greater  risk  of  developing  cardiovascular  diseases,


               neuropathy,  congenital  malformations  and  retinopathy.


               Glycation products from excess glucose can chemically modify


               DNA  causing  mutations  and  cause  complex  DNA


               rearrangements.  Oxidative  stress  is  increased  in  diabetes


               because of glucose oxidation and factors that include cellular


               redox  imbalances  and  reduction  in  antioxidant  defenses



               comprising  decreased  cellular  antioxidant  levels  and  a


               reduction in the activity of enzymes that remove free radicals.
