(author), Bakker, S.J.L. (author)Diabetic nephropathy is now the most common cause of end-stage renal failure in many countries of the world. Despite increasing implementation of preventive treatment, the chance that an individual diabetic patient will reach end-stage renal failure has been increasing rather than decreasing during recent decades. Current dietary habits in The...article 2011

(author), Diamant, M. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may play a pathophysiological role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). We hypothesized that urinary MMP activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is related to a decline in renal function. We determined MMP-2, -8 and -9 activity in 24-h urine collections in relation to risk factors...article 2010

Most studies so far have focused on the role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in vascular complications, whereas the role of early glycation Amadori-modified proteins, which is the predominant form of glycated proteins, has not been systemically investigated in humans. We developed an...article 1999

In contrast MA does not reflect microvascular damage in a substantial number of non- insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) patients. MA predicts cardiovascular disease in NIDDM patients with increased von Willebrand...article 1998

(author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)OBJECTIVE - The high risk for cardiovascular disease in IDDM patients with nephropathy may be mediated by abnormal function of the vascular wall. We investigated whether heparin was able to modulate markers of vascular wall and hemostatic function in patients with incipient nephropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - Thirty-five IDDM patients...article 1997

Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author), Leegwater, D.C. (author), Kuper, C.F. (author)Renal histopathology data, obtained in a 3-month feeding study of the effects of different carbohydrates and polyols in the alloxan diabetic rat, have been subjected to factor analysis. The results indicate a primary and a secondary effect of the diabetic state on the kidney of the rat. The primary effect, the 'diabetic factor', was associated...article 1984
