Background: We sought to elucidate the role of oxidative stress in the development of incident type 2 diabetes by measuring oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in a large cohort study. Methods: Using a case-cohort design, serum levels of ox-LDL and MPO were measured in 460 cases with incident type 2 diabetes and 1,474 non-cases selected from a source population of 7,936 middle-aged men and women who participated in the population-based MONICA/KORA Augsburg studies between 1984–1995.
