Preoperative glucose level has different effects on the endogenous extracellular matrix-related gene expression in saphenous vein of type 2 diabetic patients undergoing coronary surgery

Conclusion:
This study suggested that different preoperative diabetic status affected the expression of ECM-related genes in SV. ECM-related genes were more significantly imbalanced in diabetic patients with uncontrolled preoperative blood glucose than those with well-controlled preoperative blood glucose.
