Type 1 diabetes results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β cells in the
pancreas. Genetic and, as yet undefined, environmental factors act together to precipitate …

Type 1 diabetes results from the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β cells by a β
cell-specific autoimmune process. β Cell autoantigens, macrophages, dendritic cells, B …

Specificity of prediction with an autoantibody marker reflects the chance that a person
without that marker will remain disease-free. It is calculated by dividing the number of …

An unselected population of 755 siblings of children with insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus (IDDM) was studied to evaluate the predictive characteristics of islet cell antibodies …

Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus results from destruction of the beta cells of the
islets of Langerhans, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency. Although some patients …

To study the relationship of IA-2 antibodies (IA-2A) to other autoantibodies and genetic risk
markers in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), 758 children and adolescents …

Diabetes mellitus is a common disease in cats and dogs. Its incidence is increasing,
possibly due to an increase in obesity in both species. Different types of diabetes have been …

Abstract Type 1 (insulin‐dependent) diabetes mellitus is strongly associated with
autoimmune phenomena connected to the loss of β‐cells in the pancreatic islets. Despite …

To better understand the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes, we have developed pancreatic
biopsy under laparoscope for recent-onset type 1 diabetic patients. The patients included 29 …

The autoimmune attack in type 1 diabetes is not only targeted to β cells. We assessed the
prevalence of thyroid peroxidase (aTPO), parietal cell (PCA), antiadrenal (AAA) and …
