Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume features up-to-date reviews of the most advanced clinical methods currently being used to evaluate the metabolic and biological alterations accompanying diabetic disease. Of further interest is the in-depth analysis of the complex plurimetabolic syndrome, commonly known as syndrome X. Special consideration is also given to diabetic retinopathy, which is discussed from both an experimental and a clinical point of view. A group of short reports containing experimental data relevant to the main topic areas concludes the book. Physicians specializing in diabetes, and teachers and research workers in the areas of diabetology, metabolism and endocrinology will find this to be a valuable source of information.
