Why the study?
While the effects of diabetes on many organs are well documented, its mechanisms of action on the lung are known far less.
What are the histopathological changes in lung tissue caused by diabetes?
What are the histopathological changes in lung tissue caused by diabetes?
Diabetes can lead to lung damage and pulmonary fibrosis through mechanisms involving oxidative stress and inflammation.
Diabetes mellitus associated with oxidative stress and inflammation can affect many organs. While the effects of diabetes on many organs are well known and documented, its mechanisms of action on the lung are known far less. Hyperglycemia can lead to lung damage by increasing oxidative stresses and inflammation. Diabetes may be a trigger for pulmonary fibrosis, as studies suggest that there may be an important link between pulmonary fibrosis and diabetes. In this review, the histopathological changes caused by diabetes in the lung tissue were summarized. In addition, changes in the lung due to inflammation, oxidative stress and pulmonary fibrosis mechanisms were evaluated.
