Preface

and successful alleviation.

Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine dysfunctions in neonates and can occur at any age. This book is proposed as an overview of recent progress in diabetes research worldwide, with a focus on different research areas relevant to this disease. These include diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2 and its complications, latent autoimmune diabetes, very lowcalorie diets in type 2 diabetes mellitus, inflammation, oxidative stress, Hsp70, lipotoxicity, visceral fat, fat metabolism, adiponectin, and leptin. This book reviews the factors that con‐ tribute to air pollution and type 2 diabetes mellitus, body temperature regulation during exercise and hyperthermia in diabetic patients, and levels of amino acid serum and urinary excretion in young diabetic patients. Also, it examines the relationship among diabetes, hy‐ perinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and colorectal cancer. The authors have also contributed articles not only on the molecular signal integration of aging and diabetes mellitus but also on the molecular and biochemical scrutinization of pyridoxine status in the diabetic com‐ munity. This book proposes some treatments for this disease offering us hope in prevention
