Diabetes increases p53-mediated apoptosis following ischemia.
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2008; (4): 1135-43
Diabetes impairs the ability of tissue to respond adequately to ischemia. The underlying mechanisms contributing to this impaired response remain unknown. Because increases in apoptosis have been linked to a spectrum of diabetic complications, the authors examined whether programmed cell death is involved in the pathogenesis of poor diabetic tissue responses to ischemia.
