High Protein Intake and Likely Association with Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM)

Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) occurs predominantly after the age of 50 years but is not easy to distinguish from late onset insulin-dependent diabetes. It is likely that misclassification is rare in a Caucasian population. Whilst NIDDM is widely believed to be genetically determined, recent epidemiological observations have consistently revealed statistical associations betwee...

Etiology and Pathogenesis of Non-insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM): Current concepts

We discuss the etiopathogenesis of NIDDM in the light of new data. The role of insulin deficiency and insulin resistance is discussed. The ultrastructure of amylin in the islet cells is described. The role of abnormalities in hepatic glucose metabolism is discussed. The effect of glucotoxicity on the islet cell funtion is brought out. We have attempted to construct the teleological sequence of ...

Blood and liver lipid concentrations in EDS shrews exhibiting spontaneous non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

The EDS (early-onset diabetes in suncus) colony was developed as a new laboratory colony of the musk shrew and is characterized by a high incidence of early-onset spontaneous non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We examined blood lipid (triglyceride [TG], total cholesterol [TC], phospholipid [PL], free fatty acid [FFA]) and liver lipid (TG, TC, PL) concentrations to investigate the ...

Insulin effect on Leptin Concentration in Children with New Onset Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

Objective: Serum Leptin concentration reflects the body fat mass. There is controversial reports about the insulin effect on serum Leptin concentration. We wanted to examine the effect of insulin therapy on serum Leptin in children with new onset type I diabetes. Materials and Methods: This was a Cross-Sectional study in Children's Medical Center on 34 children who had new onset type I diabe...
