DIABETES MELLITUS: FROM MOLECULAR MECHANISMS TO PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by a persistent elevation of blood glucose levels, often accompanied by various long-term clinical manifestations. The disease is spreading rapidly across the globe, and its prevalence is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. This review aims to explore the mechanisms underlying the development of diabetes, its pathophysiological characteristics, and pharmacological aspects. According to the analyzed literature, diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition influenced by multiple risk factors and associated with severe complications that greatly affect patients’ quality of life. Nevertheless, advances in modern science are leading to improved methods for predicting, diagnosing, treating, and managing the different forms of this disease.
