how is insulin resistance caused
Activation of serine kinases is a key molecular mechanism in the development of insulin resistance. These kinases inactivate insulin receptor substrate (IRS) protein function through phosphorylation, reducing the action of phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases, thereby blocking downstream signaling of insulin receptors. In addition, serine kinases are able to phosphorylate serine residues on the insulin receptor itself,
what is pathogensis of diabetic neuropathy
. Chronic hyperglycemia leads to the formation of nonenzymatically glycosylated plasma and tissue proteins, which leads to hyalinization of the basal lamina and thickening of the basement membrane of endoneural vasculature. As a result, nerve ischemia occurs, leading to a reduction of intraepidermal nerve fiber densit
