A post graduate doctor from the department of biochemistry at Andhra Medical College (AMC) has done pioneering research that can help halt the progress of diabetes mellitus and other associated complications such as end-stage renal failure through administration of medicines.
"Hyperglycemia or increased levels of sugar in the blood is the cause for diabetes mellitus or Type II diabetes (T2DM). As a result of oxidative stress, free oxygen radicals are released in the body leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is not beneficial for oxygen and causes micro-vascular (blood vessels) complications. Oxidative stress occurs as a result of the imbalance between ROS production and antioxidant defenses. Ultimately, it causes end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or diabetic nephropathy," said Dr P Vijaya Radhika, who was recently awarded the prestigious Dr Pedaveerraju gold medal for the best research paper in investigative medicine by the AMC research forum.
