Official title
Endothelial Dysfunction and the Role of Flavonoids in the Prevention of Nephropathy Among Pediatric Patients With Diabetes
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Diabetes is the most common metabolic disease of childhood. Vascular disease is a leading complication of diabetes, and attempts to maintain close glycemic control do not prevent the sequelae that claim the lives and quality of life of millions of diabetics each year. Up to forty percent of patients with diabetes mellitus ultimately develop diabetic nephropathy, the most common cause of end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis in the US. Flavonoid-rich diets are a promising intervention to prevent the endothelial dysfunction that apparently leads to this deadly complication. The mechanisms are still unclear but probably involve nitric oxide synthesis. The investigators hypothesize that early maintenance of the integrity of renal vasculature will significantly improve the lifelong prognosis for patients with diabetes. Flavonoids with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities could be used to protect endothelial function, and together with good glycemic control, prevent the development and progression of nephropathy. The investigators aims are to: 1. compare endothelial function by studying reactive hyperemia, nitric oxide, and proinflammatory factors in adolescents (12-21 years old) with diabetes versus healthy sex- and age-matched control subjects. 2. identify early markers in urine for vascular endothelial injury. 3. examine the effects of flavonoids on vascular function, urine nitric oxide, and proinflammatory factors in patients with diabetes mellitus.
