[It has been speculated that production of cytotoxic products of SSAO may cause endothelial damage and thus contribute to the development of diabetic vascular complications such as retino-, nephro-, and neuropathies as a result of SSAO activity.In order to explore the possibility that high SSAO activity contributes to the development of vascular complications in diabetes, we have performed two studies in patients with Type-2 diabetes quantifying plasma SSAO activity, HbA(1c), and urinary levels of the SSAO substrate, methylamine.].
