The influence of age and the degree of compensation of carbohydrate metabolism on metabolic changes in the blood of female patients with type 2 diabetes

Resumo

The purpose of this study was a comprehensive analysis of various aspects of the metabolism of erythrocytes in women with type 2 diabetes, according to the age characteristics of carbohydrate-metabolism compensation. The results, which are based on the nature of changes in the parameters of carbohydrate and energy metabolism, gas transport, and antioxidant systems of the blood, contribute to the understanding of the role of metabolic changes in red-blood cells leading to changes in their biological properties, the severity of which reflects the adaptive capacity of the body in terms of hyperglycemia in different age groups in type 2 diabetes.
