Red wine counteracts nitrative stress and PARP-1 overactivation in the retina of diabetic rats
Keywords:
diabetes retinopathy, polyphenols, oxidative-nitrative stress, poly(ADP-ribose) polymeraseAbstract
Increased accumulation of nitrotyrosine and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated proteins in the tissues of diabetics are associated with diabetes complications (diabetes neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy). The present study showed that red wine decreases the level of nitrotyrosine modified and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated proteins in the retinae of diabetic rats to the control level. This data allows us to assume an important role of red wine and its polyphenols preparation in the prevention and treatment of diabetic complications.
