3 The angiogenic paradox in diabetes mellitus Definition: The angiogenic paradox describes the fact that diabetes mellitus is associated with both enhanced as well as reduced vascular growth, i.e. angiogenesis (angiogenesis/arteriogenesis). Situation in chronic diabetes mellitus: Diabetic retinopathy enhanced angiogenesis Fewer coronary collaterals reduced arteriogenesis

20 The angiogenic paradox in diabetes mellitus Summary: The action of VEGF is essential for endothelial function and angiogenesis. Diabetes mellitus is associated with both enhanced (diabetic retinopathy) as well as reduced vascularization (collateral arteries). Diabetes mellitus is associated with elevated VEGF levels and reduced VEGFR function. VEGF resistance can explain the angiogenic paradox.
