Evaluation of Chitotriosidase and Neopterin as Biomarkers of Microvascular Complications in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Ancuta Cutas et al.

Summary: The study found a link between the inflammatory status and the occurrence of microvascular complications in patients with type 1 DM, especially diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. Chitotriosidase enzymatic activity increased over time, with a faster progression observed in non-smokers. Increased chitotriosidase activity may be a predictor of endothelial dysfunction in type 1 DM.

Chitinases and Chitinase-Like Proteins as Therapeutic Targets in Inflammatory Diseases, with a Special Focus on Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Marzena Mazur et al.

Summary: Chitinases belong to the GH18 family and can degrade chitin. Although mammals do not synthesize chitin, they still have chitinases and chitinase-like proteins. Chitinases play a role in human fibrotic and inflammatory disorders, serving as prognostic biomarkers of disease progression.
