Environmental contaminants as etiologic factors for diabetes.
For both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, the rates have been increasing in the United States and elsewhere; rates vary widely by country, and genetic factors account for less than half of new cases. These observations suggest environmental factors cause both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Occupational exposures have been associated with increased risk of diabetes. In addition, recent data sug...
متن کاملMagnesium and Alzheimers Disease: The Cholinergic Hypothesis
The cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains the cornerstone for the understanding of chemical signal transfer. Hypofunctions of cholinergic systems are significantly involved in the signs and symptoms of senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. Cognitive deficits in AD have been widely associated with dysfunction of the cholinergic system. As a diagnostic marker of AD the activity...
متن کاملEtiologic Factors in SLE
We are currently witnessing an explosion of information about the genetic contribution to complex human diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). These genetic discoveries have profound implications for efforts to more fully characterize etiologic pathways and mechanisms. Further, these etiologic insights should lead to improved diagnostic and prognostic tools and inform the developm...
متن کامل[Parkinson's disease and environmental factors].
The etiology of the nigrostriatal pathway degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) is unknown but there is a growing pool of evidence that environmental factors may be involved in the genesis of this disorder. The discovery of the N-Methyl 4-Phenyl 1,2,3,6-Tetrahydro-Pyridine (MPTP)-induced injury in late 1970s provided the first experimental model of PD and stimulated dramatically the epidemio...
