The molecular mechanisms by which vitamin D improve glucose homeostasis: A mechanistic review.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder involving multiple deleterious molecular pathways and cellular defects leading to disturbance in the biologic milieu. It is currently a global health concern with growing incidence, especially among younger adults. There is an unmet need to find new therapeutic targets for the management of diabetes.

MicroRNAs and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Molecular mechanisms and the effect of antidiabetic drug treatment.

The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the most prevalent metabolic disease, is rapidly growing worldwide. T2DM has several underlying causes involved in its development. In recent decades, there is compelling evidence demonstrating that microRNAs (miRs) are implicated in the pathophysiology of T2DM.
