Oxidative stress, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus
TL;DR: Chronic oxidative stress, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia are particularly dangerous for β-cells from lowest levels of antioxidant, have high oxidative energy requirements, decrease the gene expression of key β-cell genes and induce cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of diabetes
TL;DR: The latest estimates show a global prevalence of 382 million people with diabetes in 2013, expected to rise to 592 million by 2035 and the aetiological classification of diabetes has now been widely accepted.
