Objective: To test whether oxidative stress could promote a systemic acute-phase response in elderly patients with type II diabetes. Design and Methods: In a group of 30 older diabetic patients with poor glycemic control, serum levels of lipid per oxides, measured as thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS); C-reactive protein (CRP); interleukin (IL)-6 and the soluble form of its receptor (sIL-6R), were evaluated at baseline and after 2 and 3 months of therapeutic intervention. Thirty asymptomatic, untreated individuals with abnormal fasting glycemia, but otherwise healthy status, of similar age, sex, and weight served as control group. Results: At baseline, glycemia (8.83+/-0.67 mmol/l), HbA(1)C (8.66+/-0.59%). TEARS (8.68+/-1.21 mu mol/l), CRP (16.05+/-3.81 mg/l) IL-6 (5.39+/-1.25 pg/ml) and sIL-6R (1425+/-492 pg/ml) were significantly higher in diabetic patients than in asymptomatic hyperglycemic individuals (p
