Self-tutoring about why hyperglycemia can damage blood vessels: the tutor investigates.<\/h2>\n

\nHyperglycemia, which means elevated blood sugar, has long been known to cause damage to blood vessels, but how?\n<\/p>\n

\nA top-down explanation begins as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the cells that line blood vessels, hyperglycemia prolongs the presence of an enzyme called HK2 that metabolizes glucose.<\/li>\n
  2. However, HK2 also causes the production of a dangerous by-product called MG. MG misforms proteins.<\/li>\n
  3. The body detects the misformed proteins and starts an inflammatory response, which weakens the vessels and also increases the chance of blood clots.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I hope to follow up with further details.<\/p>\n
