  Type II diabetes and metabolic disorders

 

 

While Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disease which results into pancreatic beta cell death and resultant lack of Insulin production, Type II diabetes is scientifically most challenging disease, which is characterized by elevated  insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Type II diabetes can occur as a result of dysfunction in glucose, lipid and energy homeostasis in any or all of the following organs/organ systems including liver, adipose, muscle, gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Elevated levels of serum glucose and free fatty acids occurring due to imbalances in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism then leads to endoplasmic reticular stress in pancreatic beta cells, leading ultimately to pancreatic beta cell death (terminal diabetes).

 

DIABETES RESEARCH AT CDRI FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING
