## Abstract While glucocorticoids were originally named for their role in glucose metabolism, their role in many aspects of resting and stressβrelated homeostasis has been elucidated. An accumulation of evidence linking abnormal glucocorticoid metabolism to both type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndro

## Abstract ## Background Individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent heterogeneous groups with differences in Ξ²βcell function and genetic background. The aim of the present study was to compare serum protein profiles of NGT and T2DM individuals an
A combination of genetic and environmental factors is most likely the cause of Type 1 diabetes. Results from twin data, familial clustering of the disease and difference in incidence according to ethnicity infer the presence of specific disease genes. The genetic component of Type 1 diabetes cannot
We evaluated the effect of insulin on platelet function, blood viscosity, and filterability in healthy subjects and in patients with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Fifteen diabetic patients were free from cardiovascular complications (group A), while the other 15 patients had both
