The role of these abnormalities has mainly been examined in animal models. Few studies have been undertaken in diabetic patients, and those that have are limited due to analysis in wounds from chronic ulcers. In this study, we quantified the rate of wound healing in relation to skin neurovascular function and structure following a dorsal foot skin biopsy in type 2 diabetes.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS\u2014Twelve healthy control subjects and 12 type 2 diabetic subjects with neuropathy but without macrovascular disease were studied. We quantified rate of wound healing and related it to skin microvascular function (laser Doppler imager [LDI]max), blood vessel density, small nerve fiber function (LDIflare) and nerve fiber density, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (FLK1), and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1\u03b1 expression.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESULTS\u2014The rate of wound closure was identical between control subjects and diabetic patients despite a significant reduction in maximum hyperemia (LDImax), epidermal and dermal VEGF-A, and epidermal and dermal blood vessel VEGFR-2 expression as well as the neurogenic flare response (LDIflare) and dermal nerve fiber density. There was no significant difference in HIF-1\u03b1 and dermal blood vessel density between control subjects and diabetic patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS\u2014In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that wound closure in subjects with type 2 diabetes is not delayed despite significant alterations in neurovascular function and structure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2337\/dc07-1421","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,27]],"date-time":"2007-11-27T18:58:51Z","timestamp":1196189931000},"page":"3058-3062","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["Neurovascular Factors in Wound Healing in the Foot Skin of Type 2 Diabetic Subjects"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Singhan T.M.","family":"Krishnan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Centre, Ipswich Hospital, Ipswich, U.K"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristian","family":"Quattrini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Manchester and Manchester Royal Infirmary, Manchester, U.K"},{"name":"Division of Regenerative Medicine, University of Manchester, Manchester, U.K"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Jeziorska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Regenerative Medicine, University of Manchester, Manchester, U.K"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rayaz A.","family":"Malik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Manchester and Manchester Royal Infirmary, Manchester, U.K"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerry","family":"Rayman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Centre, Ipswich Hospital, Ipswich, U.K"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1167","reference":[{"key":"2022031218335143000_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Pham H, Armstrong DG, Harvey C, Harkless LB, Giurini JM, Veves A: Screening techniques to identify people at high risk for diabetic foot ulceration: a prospective multicenter trial.
