Study of glycaemic status parasympathetic functions in non diabetic offsprings of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycemia. Several distinct types of Diabetes Mellitus exist and are caused by interaction of genetics and environmental factors. Individuals with Diabetes Mellitus may develop signs of autonomic dysfunction involving cholinergic, noradrenergic and peptidergic systems. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus has a strong genetic component.
