Mitochondrial ROS production was enhanced in diabetic leukocytes and reduced by MitoQ.
MitoQ treatment increased GPX-1 levels in T2D leukocytes.
MitoQ increased PMN rolling velocity and decreased PMN rolling flux and adhesion.
NFκB-p65 and TNFα were augmented in T2D and were both reduced by MitoQ treatment.
MitoQ should be investigated as a novel means of reducing cardiovascular risk in T2D.
