The Diabetogenes Concept of NIDDM

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 334))

Abstract

It is not very often that I am asked to lecture about the pathogenesis of NIDDM, and I even imagine that many of my distinguished colleagues assume that I don’t have an original opinion on the matter. I felt therefore very privileged to be asked to present my views on NIDDM in this Symposium honoring Professor Rolf Luft.
