Overview of the Chinese American Diabetes Project - 华裔糖尿病研究概况

About 1% of type 2 diabetes is caused by a mitochondrial disorder, and mitochondrial factors in diabetes may also be important for other people. Mitomed is researching whether differences in mitochondrial genes change a person’s risk to develop diabetes.

綫粒體從我們吃的食物及我們吸入的氧氣中生産能量。大約1%的二型糖尿病是由於綫粒體功能異常導致的。 Mitomed正在研究綫粒體基因的差別是否會改變一個人罹患糖尿病的可能性。
