(author)Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune destruction of insulin producing pancreatic beta-cells due to a genetic predisposition and can be triggered by environmental factors. We have previously shown that bisphenol A (BPA) accelerates the spontaneous development of diabetes in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. Here, we hypothesized that...article 2015

(author)Diabetes mellitus type 1 is an autoimmune disease with a genetic predisposition that is triggered by environmental factors during early life. Epidemiological studies show that bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor, has been detected in about 90% of all analyzed human urine samples. In this study, BPA was found to increase the severity of...article 2014

Kelder, T. (author), Verschuren, L. (author), van Ommen, B. (author), van Gool, A.J. (author), Radonjic, M. (author)Background: Multifactorial diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), are driven by a complex network of interconnected mechanisms that translate to a diverse range of complications at the physiological level. To optimally treat T2DM, pharmacological interventions should, ideally, target key nodes in this network that act as determinants...article 2014

Joosten, M.M. (author), Schrieks, I.C. (author), Hendriks, H.F.J. (author)Background: Fetuin-A, a liver-derived glycoprotein that impairs insulin-signalling, has emerged as a biomarker for diabetes risk. Although moderate alcohol consumption has been inversely associated with fetuin-A, data from clinical trials are lacking. Thus, we evaluated whether moderate alcohol consumption decreases circulating levels of fetuin...article 2014

Simons, M. (author), Koopman, H. (author), Osinga, M. (author)Insulin requirement affects the careers of diabetic professionals who do safety-sensitive jobs. In most cases, insulin-treated individuals are automatically banned from safety-sensitive jobs because the risk of hypoglycaemia is regarded as incompatible with safety. Recent developments—such as diabetes self-management education, self-monitoring...article 2014

Ramautar, R. (author), Berger, R. (author), van der Greef, J. (author), Hankemeier, T. (author)Metabolomics provides a direct functional read-out of the physiological status of an organism and is in principle ideally suited to describe someone's health status. Whereas only a limited number of small metabolites are used in the clinics, in inborn errors of metabolism an extensive repertoire of metabolites are used as biomarkers. We discuss...article 2013
