The Department of Chemistry at the University of Basrah hold a master thesis defense entitled: Evaluating the clinical significance of insulin resistance, oxidant/ antioxidant status, some adipokines, and glycoproteins as monitoring indicators in Type 2 diabetic foot syndrome . The presenter (Hadeel Mowafaq Al-Shawi) demonstrates the most important objectives of studying (explain the role of the role of insulin resistance, oxidant/antioxidant status, some adipokines (Chemerin and Zonulin), and glycoproteins (HbA1c, α-2-Macroglobulin, and Ceruloplasmin) in Type 2 diabetic patients with DFS were tested as potential biomarkers recommended for clinical use in the diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up of patients with T2DM at high risk of developing diabetic foot syndrome), The results reached (these biomarkers should be taken into account in laboratory’s tests for diabetic foot patients due to their great importance to determine the severity of this disease.). The study recommends (The need to take into account some other things in addition to these predictive indicators, such as the role of smoking and some nutritional supplements that would affect people with diabetic foot patients, studying the role of gene expression and mutations in insulin receptors, in addition to searching for genetic defects of some antioxidant enzymes related to diabetic foot patients)
