There are many causes of diabetes especially
type II diabetes mellitus. Amongst them
obesity is most often pointed out to be a major cause for it. The
fat cells called adipose cells, specially those present inside the abdomen, in the fatty apron called omentum are responsible for it. In one hand those consume
insulin for their own
metabolism and on the other hand can modify the protector genes. A
gene identified in animals by researchers called Protein Kinase (
PKC) C-Zeta, primarily responsible for down regulation of inflammation may act in a reverse way by promoting inflammation. They do so by producing IL6 (Interleukine6) which floods the
liver to cause
insulin resistance, where the
glucose metabolism takes place.
More research in this field will show how that can be stopped or modified to reduce the incidence of diabetes II.
