Abstract:
Insulin resistance related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus are spreading rapidly in Asia and are probably closely correlated with catch-up growth caused by rapid elevation of nutrient status. To explore the mechanisms of insulin resistance from a new window, catch-up growth would help to improve our understanding about the pathogenetic characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as to find efficient methods in slowing down the diabetes prevalence in Asia.
