ABSTRACT
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by the body’s inability to produce insulin (type 1 diabetes, DMT1) or use it efficiently (type 2 diabetes, DMT2). In both cases, high concentrations of blood glucose are observed, with consequent damage to several tissues. It has been proposed that the etiology of DMT1 is related to autoimmune phenomena, whereas DMT2 has its origin in metabolic disorders of tissues that respond to insulin.
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, has the ability to infect several tissues, including the islets of Langerhans and adipose tissue. In these sites, the presence of the parasite may induce autoimmune processes or metabolic alterations that would contribute to the establishment of diabetic disease. The present paper presents a review of the experimental evidence published so far.
