Microvascular function in human diabetes. A physiological perspective
JE Tooke
Department of Vascular Medicine, Postgraduate Medical School, University of Exeter, Devon, U.K.
The late complications of diabetes represent in large part microvascular
dysfunction. The development of techniques to measure microvascular
function has resulted in a clearer picture of the stages of development of
microangiopathy and the key pathophysiological processes involved.
Considerable evidence supports the hemodynamic hypothesis of pathogenesis,
which argues that early insulin-dependent diabetes is characterized by
increased microvascular pressure and flow. Resultant injury to the
microvascular endothelium causes adaptive microvascular sclerosis
contributing to a loss of vasodilatory reserve and autoregulatory capacity
with increasing disease duration. High susceptibility to microangiopathy
appears to be characterized by both high capillary pressure and increased
permeability, although the interrelationship between these variables needs
to be better defined. In normotensive non-insulin-dependent diabetes
subjects, a different pattern of microvascular functional abnormalities is
apparent; it is hypothesized that these differences represent the impact of
a prediabetic insulin-resistant phase on microvascular behavior and may in
part explain the differential expression of vascular pathology in the two
major types of diabetes. The physiological framework that has been defined
reveals those pivotal processes upon which scientific attention should be
centered and facilitates the generation of plausible molecular and cellular
mechanisms that fit the physiological facts.
