Abstract:
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and its precursor metabolic disorders has reached epidemic proportions. Oxidative stress plays a significant role in the development of micro- and macrovascular complications in patients with DM. The accumulation of free radicals is responsible for the activation of pathological biochemical pathways responsible for the development of systemic and vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, hypercoagulability, and ischemic conditions. Since damage to the vascular and nervous systems persists even with adequate glycemic control, comprehensive pathogenetic treatment strategies are necessary. One of the essential components of comprehensive treatment for DM complications is the use of antioxidant therapy with Mexidol.
