Abstract

The prevalence, and associated healthcare burden, of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide. Mortality and morbidity are associated with diabetic complications in multiple organs and tissues, including the eye, kidney and cardiovascular system, and new therapeutics to treat these complications are required urgently. Triethylenetetramine (TETA) is one such experimental therapeutic that acts to chelate excess copper (II) in diabetic tissues and reduce oxidative stress and cellular damage.
