Type 2 Diabetes

Beschreibung

Diabetes Mellitus is a condition in which the amount of glucose in the blood is abnormally high because the body is no longer able to use it adequately as a fuel. This unique and timely volume presents a detailed introductory account of how NIDDM can be both predicted and prevented. It specifically focuses upon genetic markers, immune markers, cell markers, environmental factors and animal models. The cost-effectiveness of prevention strategies is also examined, as well as many of the ethical aspects of screening and intervention.
