Basal expression of HSP72 mRNA is lower by 33% in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to age-matched and young control subjects.

Practitioners should consider the reduced HSP72 expression as a potential marker of oxidative stress in diabetic patients.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Basal expression of both HSP72 and HO-1 mRNA were lower (P < 0.05) by 33 and 55%, respectively, when comparing diabetic patients with age-matched and young control subjects.
