Essential Biochemistry, Endocrinology and Nutrition
Biochemistry is the examine of the chemistry of dwelling organisms, of the ways that nutrition is used to serve the entire many wants of the physique. Biochemistry is heavily attached with nutrients, the learn of the categories and quantities of assorted fabrics required within the nutrition. Biochemistry can also be inextricably int~rtwined with endo crinology, the research of hormones, for many of the hormones exert their activities by means of changing the behaviour of chemical reactions in the physique.

That nearly 20 million North Americans are without ideal therapies for their disease has not escaped the attention of therapeutic developers. The significance of glycated hemoglobin extends far beyond its role as a monitoring tool that has aided drug development and improved patient care. While glycation does not significantly affect the oxygen transporting function of hemoglobin, glycation of other proteins is an important factor in the pathophysiology of diabetic complications. In the presence of hyperglycemia, the non-enzymatic catalyzed linking of glucose molecules to proteins leads to a series of chemical reactions that permanently changes the glycated proteins.
A genetic locus has also been identified for MIDD, a relatively uncommon form of type 2 diabetes that, as its name suggests, is maternally inherited and associated with the development of deafness. , 1992). This locus is consistent with evidence showing that type 2 diabetes follows a predominantly maternal mode of transmission, as mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively from the mother (Alcolado and Alcolado, 1991). Detailed evaluations of MIDD mutation carriers revealed abnormalities in insulin secretion for all subjects tested.
Concluding Remarks 187 Page 1 1 General Overview of Diabetes Diabetes mellitus is a serious endocrine disorder that is characterized by a disruption of intermediary metabolism due to insufficient insulin activity, insulin secretion, or both. S. , 1997; Jiwa, 1997). , 1997). S. The social and economic costs of diabetes on society are substantial. Recent estimates have placed the economic burden of diabetes in the United States at $98 billion, over half of which is attributable to premature disability and death (American Diabetes Association, 1998; Hingley, 1997).
