Type 2 diabetes can be viewed as the consequence of a series of pathophysiologic changes, each of which makes the patient vulnerable to subsequent disruption of normal glucose homeostasis.

Martin G. Myers Jr.: Wang et al. 1 have extended the role for leptin in glucose homeostasis by demonstrating that leptin alone prevents high blood sugar in insulin-deficient diabetic mice ...

This series is all about homeostasis. You’re in luck because that means we’re covering everything from the nervous system and hormones to blood glucose levels and the menstrual cycle.

Homeostasis and temperature regulation Homeostasis and water balance Control of blood glucose concentration Type 1 and type 2 diabetes Role of glucagon in blood sugar levels – Higher ...
