Diabetes mellitus activity levels

Another condition involving ceruloplasmin is aceru-loplasminemia. in this genetic disorder, levels of ceruloplasmin are very low and consequently its ferroxidase activity is markedly deficient. This leads to failure of release of iron from cells, and iron accumulates in certain brain cells, hepatocytes, and pancreatic islet cells. Affected individuals show severe neurologic signs and have diabetes mellitus. Use of a chelating agent or administration of plasma or ceruloplasmin concentrate may be beneficial. 

Contraindications Active hepatic disease diabetic ketoacidosis increased serum transaminase levels, including ALT greater than 2.5 times normal serum level type 1 diabetes mellitus... 

Increased lipoprotein levels are seen in diabetes mellitus but not in starvation. Glucocorticoids have a protein catabolic activity in all tissues except liver. There, glucocorticoids stimulate protein synthesis. 

Protein kinase C plays a critical part in the vascular changes associated with diabetes mellitus. It has been proposed that chronic hyperglycemic states begin a cascade of reactions, initially involving the increased tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase Cy, which resnlts in elevated levels of diacylglycerol, which then activates protein kinase C. The beta isoform (PKCp) is the predominant isozyme that is activated in vascular tissue...
