Studies Investigating Neutrophil ROS production in Diabetes.

Study Animal model/human volunteer type Changes in neutrophil ROS production reported in diabetes group compared to healthy control
Studies investigating neutrophil extracellular ROS production
(54) HVs + people with T2D ↑ in response to PMA and zymosan
(136) HVs + people with T2D ↑ in response to PMA
↓ in response to zymosan
(137) HVs + PWD (does not specify type) No difference in response to PMA
(138) HVs + people with T1D ↑ in unstimulated neutrophils. ↓ in response to fMLP and no difference when using PMA
(55) Akita mouse (point mutation in Ins2 gene- inability to produce insulin-T1D model) ↑ in response to fMLP
(139) HVs+ well controlled T1D No difference in response to PMA
(140) HVs+ volunteers with poor, moderate or well controlled T1D or T2D ↑ in response to fMLP in poorly controlled diabetes only (>8% HbA1c)
(123) Low dose STZ-treated mice vs. WT ↓ in response to PMA
(141) Healthy cats vs. diabetic cats (partial pancreatectomy) ↑ in response to PMA
(142) HVs + patients with diabetes (T1D or T2D) ↑ in unstimulated neutrophils but decreased in response to PMA and zymosan
(143) HVs + people with poorly controlled T2D ↓ in response to a mixture of zymosan, phorbol and NaF
(144) HVs + patients with odontogenic bacterial infections or oral candidiasis with or without diabetes ↓ in response to PMA
(59) HVs+ people with T1D or T2D with and without varying severities of periodontitis ↑ ROS in response to PMA and fMLP in participants with moderate (7-8%) or poor (>8%) glucose control
(145) HVs + people with DFD ↓ in ROS in response fMLP. G-CSF increased ROS.
Studies investigating neutrophil intracellular ROS production
(122) HVs + people with T2D undergoing tooth extractions ↓ in ROS (stimulus not reported)
(146) HVs + people with T2D and varying stages of diabetic nephropathy ↑ ROS. Greatest increase in patients with stage 4 nephropathy. (Multiple stimuli employed)
(147) Newly diagnosed T1D patients not yet undergoing insulin therapy, T1D patients with disease duration of >3 months and healthy controls ↓ in ROS in response to PMA (greatest decrease in patients without insulin therapy)
(148) HVs + people with T1D or T2D ↓ in ROS in response to PMA. Tolrestat increased ROS
(149) HVs + infection free people with poorly controlled T2D (HbA1C <7.5%) ↓ in ROS in response to PMA
(126) HVs + people with T2D and periodontitis No difference in response to PMA. ↓ in response to zymosan
(150) STZ-treated rats v.s WT rats ↑ ROS at basal level (no stimulus used)
(125) HVs + people with diabetes and periodontal disease No difference in response to PMA. ↓ in response to zymosan
(49) HVs + People with T1D or T2D No difference in response to PMA
(151) HVs + people with T1D or T2D ↓ in response to endotoxin activated plasma
(141) Healthy cats & diabetic cats (partial pancreatectomy) No difference in response to PMA
Studies investigating neutrophil intracellular and extracellular ROS production using chemiluminescence
(142) HVs + patients with diabetes (T1D and T2D) ↑ in unstimulated neutrophils but decreased in response to PMA and zymosan
(152) HVs + people with T2D ↓ in response to PMA
(153) WT Wistar rats v.s STZ treated rats ↓ in response to fMLP
(154) HVs + people with T1D or T2D ↓ in response to PMA
(155) WT Fisher Rats + STZ treated rats ↑ in response to bradykinin
(143) WT Wistar rats v.s STZ treated rats ↓ in response to opsonised zymosan
(151) HVs + people with T1D or T2D ↑ in response to opsonised zymosan
(156) HVs + people with T2D ↓ in response to fMLP
(157) HVs + people with T1D and T2D ↑ ROS in response to cAMP-elevating agent- dibutyryl cAMP
(158) Healthy wistar rats v.s alloxan treated rats ↑ ROS in response to PMA
(159) HVs + people with T2D ↑ ROS at rest and in response to PMA
(49) HVs + people with T1D or T2D ↓ ROS in response to opsonised zymosan and PMA
(160) HVs+ poorly controlled T1D patients ↓ ROS in response to PMA
