Branching out for detection of type 2 diabetes

Cell Metab. 2011 May 4;13(5):491-2. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2011.04.003.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes is an epidemic disease worldwide, but it is difficult to predict its appearance in the general population. A recent study demonstrates that circulating concentrations of a small group of essential amino acids predict risk for diabetes, contributing to a recent resurgence of interest in these common analytes.
