Abstract:
Factors in uterus may be important in the aetiology of type 2 diabetes.Malnutrition during early life can affect insulin secretion and result in insulin resistance,and such effects are markedly exaggerated when facing over-nutrition in later life.This paper gives a review about the population evidence and epigenetic mechanism in the generational susceptibility to type 2 diabetes.
