Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The disease affects millions worldwide and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus are complex and involve multiple cellular and molecular processes. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the development and progression of diabetes mellitus. Specifically, we focus on the role of pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, and abnormalities in glucose metabolism, lipids, and proteins. We also examine the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to developing diabetes mellitus. Additionally, we highlight the importance of targeting these molecular mechanisms for developing new and effective therapies for managing diabetes mellitus. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in diabetes mellitus can lead to more effective treatments and better disease management.
