DIABETES MELLITUS: BIOCHEMICAL MECHANISMS, METABOLIC DISTURBANCES, AND MODERN THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES – A MEDICAL CHEMISTRY PERSPECTIVE
Keywords:
Diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, glucagon, diabetic ketoacidosis, HbA1c, glucose homeostasis, SGLT2 inhibitors, continuous glucose monitoring, medical chemistry.Abstract
This article is based on the analysis of modern scientific publications devoted to the biochemical basis of diabetes mellitus, its metabolic complications, and current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Particular attention is paid to the molecular mechanisms of hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and diabetic ketoacidosis, as well as the potential application of advanced technologies in the healthcare system of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
