Hyperglycemia is one of the most prominent factors associated with diabetic vascular
disease, the development of which is initated by functional and morphological alterations
of the endothelium. The review summarizes several issues of glycemia and advanced
glycation end products induced changes concerning soluble as well as cell bound endothelial
adhesion molecules, and further addresses the aspect of apoptosis in the light of
diabetic vascular complications.
