Microangiopathic complications are a major concern in diabetes mellitus type II. Oxidative phosphorylation may also be impaired, with a yet imprecise relationship to microangiopathy . An integrative investigation of metabolic and vascular response to stress was carried out to determine possible alterations of perfusion and oxidative metabolism in calf muscle of 96 patients, categorized according to incidence of microangiopathy. Combining perfusion, oxygenation and energetic measurements, we could show that mitochondrial activity was altered in patients with poorly controlled glycaemia, but unrelated to reduced perfusion, which was common to all patients, while possible anomalies of oxygen diffusion might reflect diabetic microangiopathy.
