  • Beschreibung: Significance Vascular complications are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the diabetic population. Clinical trials of diabetic complications show a persistence of benefit from early application of intensive therapy for glycemic control in diabetic patients, a phenomenon referred to as metabolic memory. The mechanisms underlying metabolic memory are not fully understood. In this study, using two groups of type 1 diabetic patients with and without complications development and two sets of genomic DNAs collected 16–17 y apart from the same patients, we showed a persistency of DNA methylation over time at key genomic loci associated with diabetic complications. These data provide direct evidence of a relationship between epigenetics (DNA methylation variations) and human metabolic memory, supporting an epigenetic mechanism.
