Zusammenfassung

Aims: Disease-related psychosocial stress is common in patients with diabetes. Stress evoked elevated catecholamine levels have been shown to induce the redox-sensitive, proinflammatory transcription factor NF-κB, which is supposed to contribute to the pathogenesis of the micro and macrovascular late diabetic complications. Since most of the NF-κB inducers also trigger the release of radical oxygen species, antioxidants were supposed to effectively block NF-κB activation. Although certain studies have indicated beneficial effects of NF-κB inhibition, numerous recent reports have shown that long-term systemic inh…
