Oxidative stress and cardiovascular ageing in diabetes
Oxidative stress is thought to be elevated in diabetes as a consequence of hyperglycaemia. This thesis investigates oxidative DNA damage in diabetes, which may contribute to accelerated vascular ageing. Telomeric and mitochondrial DNA are two areas of the genome that may be more susceptible to oxida...
