Early Anti-Atherogenic Predictors in T1dm, Egyptian Experience : The Cardio-protective 'Adiponectin' as a Valuable Promising Tool in Diagnosis and/or Assessment of CVD Risk in T1DM

The increasing incidence of T1DM & thus its concomitant vascular pathology worldwide has prompted a rapid growth in the pace of scientific discovery & clinical understanding of this enigmatic disease.This book is a valuable piece of art summarizing outcomes of a research work team who aimed to afford access to information that may allow early prediction of micro-& macrovascular complications.It supplies readers with simple but valuable information about T1DM & its complications, adipokines & atherogenic indices.Authoritative and up-to-date, authors provide all those caring for diabetic patients with a concise review of the benefits of adiponectin not only on improvement of insulin sensitivity but also on mitigation of vascular damage & enhancing cardioprotection. Authors pay special attention to clarifying the clinical significance of the antiatherogenic action of adiponectin as a tool to assess CVD risk in T1DM.Targeted at the present work are cardiologists, clinical biochemists & vascular specialists along with other health personnel. The text is also directed to both clinical and basic research scientists and emphasis has thus been given to both theoretical and practical points.
