Pathogenetic studies have led to the distinction between type I and type II diabetes. In type I hyperglycaemia is due predominantly to insulin deficiency; in type II insulin resistance is more important. Three pathogenetic factors are thought to play a role in the etiol­ ogy of type I diabetes: heredity, viral infections and immunity. There may be a relationship between these three aspects since genetic pre­ disposition changes the susceptibility to viral infections and\/or the immunological defence against these infections. Insulitis ensues. Auto­ immune processes initiated by this chain of events may contribute to the destruction of the B cells in the islets of Langerhans and diabetes -may eventually follow. This means that at the time of the sudden out­ break of the disease, the destructive process has already been active for years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401084116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-4301-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 188\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422560022668,"sku":"9789401084116","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401084116.jpg?v=1776523830","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401084116","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
