Amino acids — lifesaver or killer in patients with diabetes?

Nature Reviews Endocrinology volume 14, pages 449–451 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Distinct circulating amino acids are suggested to modulate the risk of complications and mortality related to diabetes mellitus. These findings pave the way for future basic and clinical studies to gain new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes mellitus.
