Effect of antioxidant enzyme levels on the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy

Abstract

The article discusses the effect of the level of antioxidant enzymes on the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. As a result, it was shown that a decrease in the level of superoxide dismutase leads to an increase in neurological symptoms according to the TSS scale (Total Symptoms Score) and neuropathic disorders of the lower extremities according to the NIS-LL scale (Neuropathy Impairment Scoreinthe Lower Limbs).

Keywords:type 2 diabetes mellitus; diabetic polyneuropathy; superoxide dismutase; antioxidant system
