Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increased prevalence of insulin resistance, a prediabetic condition, and type 2 diabetes is a major health concern all over the world. As per WHO estimates, it is expected that by 2030, the number of patients with diabetes will be more than double. Progressive deterioration in metabolic control with existing therapeutic modalities necessitates better understanding and newer therapeutic interventions for the effective management of diabetes.
Oxidative stress and inflammation affect a multitude of cellular responses in various organ systems, and progression of insulin-resistance is known to be associated with chronic systemic inflammation and increased oxidative stress. The positive feedback cycle involving chronic systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and progression of insulin resistance contributes to several diabetes-associated complications, including cardiovascular diseases, nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, urological diseases, and cancer.
This Special Issue on “Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Diabetic Complications” aims to stimulate comprehensive research in this field. We will accept articles on the pathophysiology of diabetes, molecular basis, imaging, and strategies including pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches.
