ABSTRACT
Low grade inflammation is associated with the progression of atherosclerosis. Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have altered cholesterol levels, which are targeted by free radicals to promote lipid peroxidation. Elevated levels of monocyte-associated cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), subsequently drive endothelial tissue injury. In fact, the levels of circulating platelet-monocyte aggregates in patients with T2D is a robust marker for atherosclerosis and a cardiovascular disease (CVD)-risk factor. To identify eligible studies, we searched the major online databases using PubMed and Google Scholar. The cumulative evidence synthesized in the current review suggests that, traditional therapies which include thiazolidinediones, statins and some calcium channel blockers can be useful in the primary prevention of atherosclerosis by inhibiting the formation of monocyte-derived microparticles, and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1, and NF-κB in patients with T2D. Future studies are needed to ascertain whether the combination of dietary interventions and glucose or lipid lowering agents can provide an enhanced cardioprotection in patients with T2D.
