Zusammenfassung:This volume examines the latest findings and concepts on insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Leading international investigators from diverse disciplines highlight advances in the understanding of every aspect of diabetes mellitus, including epidemiology, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, pathology, immunology, nutrition, genetics, and clinical management. Coverage includes studies of diabetes mellitus at all stages of human life, from the fetus and neonate, the child and adolescent, and the pregnant woman to the middle-aged and the elderly
The book provides new insights into the etiology of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), reviews advances in defining immune markers for accurate prediction of the disease, and explores methods for identifying children and adolescents genetically at risk of developing IDDM. Several contributors assess the prospect of preventing autoimmune destruction of [beta] cells by means of different diet and drug therapies. The epidemiology and pathogenesis of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) also are discussed in detail. Diabetes is an essential resource for all clinicians treating diabetic patients or counseling persons at risk for the disease. The book also offers promising leads for researchers developing new therapies for diabetes mellitus
