However, intervention studies with classic antioxidants, such as vitamin E, failed to demonstrate any beneficial effect. Recent studies demonstrate that a single hyperglycemia-induced process of overproduction of superoxide by the mitochondrial electron-transport chain seems to be the first and key event in the activation of all other pathways involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications." ; prov:wasQuotedFrompubmed:12716823 . sub:_3rdfs:label "Selventa" . sub:assertionprov:hadPrimarySourcepubmed:12716823 ; prov:wasDerivedFrombeldoc: , sub:_2 . }
