The Remodeling of Lungs Under the Influence of Alloxan-Induced Hyperglycemia

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a global medical and social problem. 2-3% of the population suffers from diabetes mellitus. According to current forecasts, the number of people with diabetes mellitus will double every 15 years. Diabetes mellitus is the basis for the development of complex comorbidities and complications such as diabetic microangiopathy and neuropathy. Diabetes patients are at increased risk for atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and renal failure. Scientists around the world have been thoroughly engaged in the problem of hyperglycemia, which is the consequence of type 1 diabetes mellitus, but the causes of its occurrence have not been fully established yet. The study aimed to investigate the lungs of pre-reproductive age rats under the influence of alloxan-induced hyperglycemia.
