PG - 1054-8 LID - 10.1038/ejcn.2012.81 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Oxidative stress (OS) is thought to be involved in both development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its further complications. In this study, certain biomarkers of OS were compared among the subjects with T1D, their non-diabetic siblings and unrelated healthy controls. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Known cases of T1D from both sexes aged 5-25 years were enrolled in a case-control study (n(1)=60). There were two control groups; non-diabetic siblings (n(2)=60) and unrelated apparently healthy subjects (n(3)=60). Anthropometric, dietary and laboratory assessments were done. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in dietary data among the groups. Total antioxidant capacity was significantly lower in T1D than both related and unrelated controls (1.6 +/- 0.05, 1.7 +/- 0.05 and 1.8 +/- 0.06 mmol BSA equivalent/l, respectively, P=0.044). Both T1D subjects and their siblings showed lower glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) levels (median (interquartile range): 22.2 (28.6), 29.9 (23) and 41.8 (73.6) U/ml, respectively, P=0.006). On the contrary, superoxide dismutase concentrations were significantly higher in T1D group and the siblings than unrelated healthy controls (243 (45.3), 157.8 (176.9) and 27.9 (8.7) U/l, respectively, P<0.001). Serum concentrations of GSH correlated with energy intake in the siblings (r=0.521, P<0.001) and unrelated controls (r=0.268, P=0.042) but not in T1D group. The associations remained significant after controlling for blood glucose (r=0.437, P=0.001 and r=0.420, P=0.011, respectively) in both the groups. CONCLUSION: Augmented OS in the siblings may indicate an increased requirement for antioxidants in genetically diabetes-prone subjects.
