Abstract

Background

Oxidative stress is implicated in both, the onset and the progression of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). There is accumulated evidence of increased biomarkers of oxidative stress in newly diagnosed, T1DM patients without complications, and in those with advanced disease. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated factors affecting oxidative stress status in pediatric patients with T1DM.

Methods

Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB), total sulfhydryl (SH) groups, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were determined in 170 children and adolescents with T1DM. Principal component analysis was used to investigate clustering of clinical and laboratory variables associated with elevated oxidative stress and reduced antioxidative defense biomarkers.

Results

Factor analysis extracted five factors, interpreted as (1) “weight status factor” including age, BMI, waist and hip circumferences; (2) “proatherogenic factor” that included LDL-cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides; (3) “metabolic control factor” including glucose and HbA1c; (4) “renal marker factor” with positive loading of urinary albumin excretion rate and negative loading of GFR; and (5) “antiatherogenic factor” that included HDL-cholesterol. High AOPP levels were independently predicted by “proatherogenic” (OR: 2.32; 95% CI: 1.44–3.71; p < 0.001), “metabolic control” (OR: 2.24; 95% CI: 1.35–3.73; p < 0.01), and “renal marker” (OR: 1.65; 95% CI: 1.03–2.65; p < 0.05) factors. “Renal marker factor” was a significant predictor of PAB (OR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.34–0.81; p < 0.01). Regarding antioxidative defense markers, reduced SH groups were predicted by “proatherogenic factor” (OR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.34–0.94; p < 0.05), while “weight status factor” predicted lower SOD activity (OR: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.03–2.67; p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Cardiometabolic risk factors and renal function are associated with oxidative stress in pediatric T1DM patients.
