Relation between Complications of Type I Diabetes Mellitus and Collagen-Linked Fluorescence
Abstract
Nonenzymatically glycosylated proteins gradually form fluorescent cross-linked protein adducts--a process termed "browning." The rate of this reaction increases with the glucose concentration. Assaying for the presence of browning products in long-lived proteins should therefore provide information on long-term metabolic control. We measured collagen-linked fluorescence typical for nonenzymatic browning in skin-biopsy specimens from 41 subjects with longstanding Type I diabetes and from 25 controls. Fluorescence correlated with age and (weakly) with the duration of diabetes. Mean age-adjusted fluorescence values were twice as high in diabetic subjects as in control subjects (P less than 0.0001) and increased with the severity of retinopathy, nephropathy, and arterial and joint stiffness. The correlation was significant for retinopathy (r = 0.42; P less than 0.01), arterial stiffness (r = 0.41; P less than 0.01), joint stiffness (r = 0.34; P less than 0.05), and the sum of all complications (r = 0.47; P less than 0.01). Fluorescence also correlated with systolic (r = 0.42; P less than 0.01) and diastolic (r = 0.36; P less than 0.05) blood pressures. If one can assume that the fluorescence results from a browning product of glucose, our data suggest that there is an overall correlation between the severity of diabetic complications and cumulative glycemia over many years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
