31
Q

For 1 A1c% increase, what is the increase in average blood sugar (mg/dL)?

A

30

*5% HbA1c = 80 mg/dL
6% HbA1c = 120 mg/dL

32
Q

What are AGEs?

A

Advanced glycation end products

33
Q

What do AGEs do to connective tissue?

A

Forms cross-links in tissue fibers

  • Smoking exacerbates this

Rxns with RAGEs (receptors of advanced glycation end products)

Inflammatory products

34
Q

What time frame does HbA1c measure?

A

30-90 days

-2-3 months

35
Q

What do AGEs result in?

A

Collagen accumulation in periodontal capillary membranes (membrane thickening)

Stim of smooth muscle increases thickness of vessels

Binding of LDL to AGE-modified collagens
-Narrows the vessel lumen

36
Q

What effects do AGEs have on collagen turnover?

A

Increased MMP production
-Degrades newly formed collagen

Decreased solubility

Leads to narrow vessels, increased damage, and less wound healing

37
Q

What are AGEs?

A

Nonenzymatic addition of hexoses to proteins

Interfere w/ proper fx of proteins they are attached to

HbA1c measure 2-3 months preceding the test

38
Q

What are AGEs?

A

Nonenzymatic addition of hexoses to proteins

Interfere w/ proper fx of proteins they are attached to

HbA1c measure 2-3 months preceding the test

A

Leukocyte adherence

Chemotaxis

Phagocytosis

*Defect in the first line of defense

40
Q

What AGE effects happen on the macrophages?

A

HYPERresponse

  • Increase IL-1beta secretion
  • IL-6
  • TNF-alpha
  • PGE2
41
Q

What are the AGE effects on endothelial cells?

A

HYPERpermeability

HYPERexpression of adhesion molecules

Procoagulatory changes
