    Abstract : Background and aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus results from complex interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental factors that together promote impairment of insulin-producing β-cells. Elevated levels of glucose, fatty acid palmitate and apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) are implicated in this process. READ MORE

    Abstract : Apolipoprotein M (apoM), a 25 kDa plasma protein, is found in all major lipoprotein classes, although the majority is found in high density lipoproteins (HDL). ApoM has been suggested to be involved in the formation of and adding to the antiatherogenic functions of HDL, but its function is still not completely known. READ MORE
