Book SynopsisType 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic progressive disease characterised by hyperglycaemia. It affects many people around the world and creates burden for the individual as well as the economy. Chinese medicine can be used to support the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus symptoms. Chapter 1 of the book summarises the conventional understanding of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, including aetiology, diagnosis and current available treatments.This book uses the 'whole evidence' approach to give an overview of the available evidence for Chinese medicine treatment for Type 2 diabetes mellitus, from classical literature to clinical evidence. Evidence from clinical studies are evaluated using high-quality and rigorous scientific methodology. Clinical trial literature of Chinese medicine treatments for Type 2 diabetes mellitus are described, with treatment modalities including Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture and other Chinese medicine therapies. The findings are analysed and potential implications for clinical practice and research are explored. Experimental studies that describe the potential mechanisms of action of key herbs are summarised. Current evidence of Chinese medicine for Type 2 diabetes mellitus is synthesised in the final chapter, and suggestions for contemporary clinical practice and future research are also offered.Targeted at clinicians and students of Chinese and integrative medicine, this book is a convenient reference that provides comprehensive synthesis of both classical and contemporary knowledge, which can support and be incorporated into their clinical practice.

Book SynopsisThis book describes the precise mechanisms by which insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus (DM) act as risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It opens by discussing the de novo synthesis of insulin in the brain and its functional significance with regard to glucose metabolism and maintenance of neuronal function in the brain. The epidemiological evidence that DM is a risk factor for the development of dementia, including AD as well as vascular dementia, is then examined. Subsequent chapters explore in depth the mechanisms involved in this relationship, including abnormal protein processing, dysregulated glucose metabolism, impaired insulin signaling, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The molecular interactions between diabetes and AD are fully discussed, highlighting the pathological molecular mechanisms induced by diabetes that promote and accelerate AD pathology. Finally, diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic approaches for AD are considered on the basis of the presented evidence. In providing answers to the critical questions of whether and why DM is a risk factor for AD, this book will hold appeal for a wide interdisciplinary audience. Table of ContentsChapter 1 Origins of brain insulin and its function.- Chapter 2 Epidemiological evidence of the relationship between diabetes and dementia.- Chapter 3 Molecular pathophysiology of insulin depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress in Alzheimer’s Disease Brain.- Chapter 4 The Full Spectrum of Alzheimer's Disease is Rooted in Metabolic.- Derangements That Drive Type 3 Diabetes.- Chapter 5 The roles of apolipoprotein E, lipids and glucose in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease.- Chapter 6 Molecular connection between diabetes and dementia.- Chapter 7 Type II Diabetes mellitus accelerates age-dependent A pathology in cynomolgus monkey brain.- Chapter 8 Diabetes-related dementia.- Chapter 9 Tortuous paths of insulin signaling and mitochondria in Alzheimer's disease.- Chapter 10 Mammalian target of rapamycin at the crossroad between Alzheimer’s Disease and diabetes.- Chapter 11 Therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer’s disease in the view of diabetes mellitus.
