Oxidative stress, capable of eliciting damage to various biomolecules including DNA, is a recognized component of diabetes mellitus and its complications. Metabolic syndrome  (MetS) is associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus  (T2DM), as well as other unfavorable outcomes. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of oxidative stress in the development of T2DM, by investigating association of oxidative DNA damage with metabolic parameters in subjects with MetS and early T2DM.Selected anthropometric and biochemical parameters of MetS, inflammation and oxidative DNA damage: body mass index  (BMI), fatty liver index  (FLI), waist circumference  (WC), total cholesterol, HDL  and LDL-cholesterol, GGT, uric acid, total leukocyte/neutrophil count,  and urinary 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine  (u-8-oxodG) were assessed in male subjects with MetS and both younger  (≤55 years) and older  (>55 years) subjects with T2DM of short duration without complications.BMI, FLI, WC, total and LDL-cholesterol and  uric acid were higher, while the u-8-oxodG was lower in MetS group, when compared to older T2DM subjects. None of these parameters were different neither between MetS and younger T2DM, nor between two sub-groups of subjects with T2DM. Values of CRP, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, GGT, leukocytes and neutrophils were not different between all examined groups of subjects. Age-dependent increase in u-8-oxodG suggests that aging process, rather than metabolic disturbances or diabetes per se plays a pivotal role in development of oxidative DNA-damage in T2DM. Oxidative DNA damage cannot serve as an universal early marker of T2DM.

Sports offer great benefits, improving health and reducing the risk of illnesses. This study’s aim was to investigate the prevalence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus in football players compared to population based non-elite athlete control subjects. Initially 1100 male volunteers, (550) football players, and (550) population based non-elite athlete control subjects were interviewed. After socio-demographic and medical history analysis, 756 (378) nonsmoker male football players and (378) nonsmoker male control subjects were recruited. The control subjects were not involved in regular sports activities such as football, volleyball, badminton, cricket, hockey, and swimming. Participants with a known history of anemia, blood diseases, diabetes mellitus, and malignancy were excluded from the study. The mean age of football players was 31.80 ± 5.46 years, Body Mass Index (BMI) was 26.40 ± 2.08 (kg/m2), and the mean age of control subjects was 32.32 ± 4.37 years, and BMI was 26.66 ± 1.87 (kg/m2). The selected football players have been playing football for about 2 h a day, 3 days per week, and so the total mean duration of playing football was 1.08 years. American Diabetes Association (ADA) based criteria on Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) was used to investigate prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In football players the prevalence of prediabetes was 30 (7.93%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was 6 (1.59%) compared to population based matched non-elite athlete control subjects where the prediabetes was 71 (18.78%) and T2DM was 89 (23.54%) (p = 0.001). Among football players there was a 7-fold decrease in T2DM compared to control subjects. Football recreational activities markedly reduce the prevalence of prediabetes and T2DM. The study findings demonstrate the benefits of football and other such sport activities and emphasize the urgent need for promoting football based physical activities as a physiological preventive strategy against the globally growing diabetes epidemic.

Aims: The aim of the study was to compare the genotoxic effect by assessing the micronucleus frequency (MNF), as a biomarker for DNA damage, in subjects with chronic periodontitis with and without type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Methods and Material: For the study, a total of 65 subjects were take and divided into three groups. Group A included 30 subjects with Generalised Chronic Periodontitis, Group Bincluded 30 Subjects with Chronic Periodontitis with type 2 diabetes mellitus and Group C included 5 systemically and periodontally healthy subjects. Periodontal clinical examination was carried out. A slide was prepared using the blood sample collected from the subjects which was fixed in 5% geimsa solution and was observed under the microscope. Later the scoring of micronuclei was done. Statistical analysis used: Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were carried out in the present study. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to find the significance of study parameters and test the equality of three or more means of more than two groups. Tukey’s post hoc analysis was used to compare parameters of each and every group. Results: The mean score of the micronuclei observed in group A, B and C were 10.23, 14.87 and 1 respectively i.e. group B showed significantly greater damage than other two groups. Conclusions: It was concluded that the score of micronucleus frequency may be considered as an important biomarker of genotoxic damage that is DNA damage in subjects with chronic localised as well as systemic diseases like type 2 diabetes, as well as Periodontal diseases.
