The important relationship between obesity and diabetes

In order to facilitate general, we used the following formula rough calculation standard weight (also called ideal body weight), namely: the standard weight (kg) = height (cm) -105. Obesity means weighing more than 20% of ideal body weight. or by body mass index, body mass index (BMI) = body weight (kg) / height 2 (m 2), male BMI over 25, women over 27 is obese.

The causes of obesity and family history of

    Usually detect urine sugar tests is to use the copper sulfate sugar to the reduction of color. Copper sulfate reduced to a copper oxide, a yellow, orange or red brick precipitation. However, many substances in urine is reduced, such as uric acid, glucuronide, or with the urine excretion of drugs such as penicillin, certain diuretics, etc., when these substances in urine concentration increased, often allows urine Sugar qualitative a false positive test,

Breakthrough in diabetes research mitochondrial gene mutation
Major damage to human insulin cell function, a matrilineal genetic, common diabetes treatment is different from the "mitochondrial gene mutation diabetes," the Chinese Medical Association, vice chairman of the Diabetes Institute, Shanghai Institute of Diabetes, the sixth of the People's Hospital-kun Three professors lead, disease pathology and research clinics have been a breakthrough progress. The study of

What is diabetes

Diabetes is due to lack of insulin secretion or insulin resistance caused by a group of metabolic diseases, is characterized by chronic high blood sugar with carbohydrates, fat and protein metabolism disorder, can occur ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma and life-threatening . Chronic high blood sugar can lead to various organs especially the eyes, kidneys, blood vessels and nerve damage caused dysfunction or failure. With the social development

Diabetes also can damage the nervous system, known as diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is diabetic Yan
Heavy complications, patients with diabetes on death and disability to the cause. Diabetic neuropathy in the early and effective treatment of illness can be good control, and when the condition to the further development of advanced, difficult to reverse.
Diabetic neuropathy causes
Long-term high blood sugar on the nerve cells to undermine the role of
Long-term high

Patients with type 2 diabetes are skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Department of Atzmon, and other reports, type 2 diabetes patient's skeletal muscle mitochondria reduce the formation of bio-energy, obesity is the existence of such phenomena. (Diabetes 2002 51 2944)

The study included a total of lean and obese non-diabetic volunteers (all 10) and 10 patients with type 2 diabetes patients. In fasting conditions, Atzmon

Japan's largest pharmaceutical companies Takeda Chemical Group recently announced to the media, found diabetes, tuberculosis, heart disease-related genes have been formally "The United States Patent and Trademark Office," the franchise. According to the company's spokesman Seizo Masuda, this in Osaka, Japan, the chemical companies have a similar number of patents over 10. Takeda Chemical Group did not disclose the details of these patents. It is learnt that the company

Diabetes is due to a lack of insulin or the body can not effectively play the role of insulin caused by a lifelong disease. Performance for the concentration of sugar in the blood increased and diabetes.

Normal blood contains a certain concentration of glucose, or blood sugar, people's activities is to provide the main source of energy. When eating, the concentration of glucose in the blood increased, in the role of insulin, glucose in the blood into cells, so that the

    Youth known as the incidence of diabetes, this is because it is often in the past 35 years the incidence of diabetes below 10%. Type 1 diabetes is dependent on insulin treatment, patients from the onset that is beginning to use insulin therapy and life-long use. The reason is that Type 1 diabetes patients in the pancreas produce insulin cells have been completely damaged, thus completely lost the function of the insulin produced. In absolute lack of insulin in the

Ⅰ summary of the current gene therapy for type 2 diabetes in many areas of progress, such as xenotransplantation apoptosis gene into islet cells to block immune response, through a variety of strategies will endocrine cells, liver cells and fibroblasts, such as the construction of a genetic engineering Mature insulin-secreting cells, the secretion is subject to normal regulatory role, the paper on the Review of progress to make.
