文摘Diabetes mellitus is one of the major public health problems worldwide.Considerable recent evidence suggests that the cellular reduction-oxidation(redox)imbalance leads to oxidative stress and subsequent occurrence and development of diabetes and related complications by regulating certain signaling pathways involved in p-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance.Reactive oxide species(ROS)can also directly oxidize certain proteins(defined as redox modification)involved in the diabetes process.There are a number of potential problems in the clinical application of antioxidant therapies including poor solubility,storage instability and nonselectivity of antioxidants.Novel antioxidant delivery systems may overcome pharmacokinetic and stability problem and improve the selectivity of scavenging ROS.We have therefore focused on the role of oxidative stress and antioxidative therapies in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus.Precise therapeutic interventions against ROS and downstream targets are now possible and provide important new insights into the treatment of diabetes.
