Diabetes is a category of metabolic illnesses defined by a persistently high blood sugar level. This complication is caused by either the pancreas failing to create enough insulin or the body's cells failing to respond correctly to the insulin produced. Diabetes, if left untreated, can lead to a slew of health issues. Diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemia, and mortality are all examples of acute complications. There are numerous serious long-term consequences, including chronic renal disease, foot ulcers, as well as nerve and eye damage. This study aimed to extract carbonic anhydrase (CA) from human red blood cells and estimate the activity and specific activity of the enzyme and some biochemical parameters, including total protein, albumin, globulin, free amino acids, free amino acids/total protein (TP), thiol, thiol/TP, as well as carbonyl and carbonyl/TP levels in patients with diabetes complications, compared to the healthy subjects; moreover, it was attempted to investigate the correlation among the aforementioned variables. This study included 60 blood samples obtained from patients with diabetes complications and 40 healthy individuals as control. The results revealed a significant (P≤0.05) decrease in the TP levels, while the CA activity and specific activity were significantly (P≤0.05) increased. Moreover, there was a non-significant (P≥0.05) increase in the free amino levels; however, a significant (P≤0.05) increase was observed in albumin, free amino/TP, thiol, thiol/TP, as well as carbonyl and carbonyl/TP levels. On the other hand, a significant (P≤0.05) decrease was found in the levels of globulin and albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) in the patients, compared to the healthy subjects. The results also indicated a significant (P≤0.05) difference in all cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) complications for the measured parameters, except for the TP in DM nephropathy, albumin in cardiovascular disease, free amino in neuropathy and cardiovascular disease, and free amino/TP in retinopathy that showed a clear non-significant (P≥0.05) difference in the patients' groups, compared to the healthy subjects. The results of correlation indicated a significant (P≤0.05) positive correlation among free amino/TP, free amino/carbonyl, globulin/TP, and AGR/albumin. However, a significant negative correlation was noted between globulin/albumin and AGR/globulin. The results revealed that the protein oxidation markers and CA as antioxidant markers may play a role in monitoring diabetes complications. |
