title: Glycosylation of proteins: its implications in diabetic control and complications.
abstract: The author shows that nonenzymic glucosylation of proteins can modify the structure and function of proteins isolated from non-insulin-dependent tissues and that these glucosylated proteins, whose normal functions have been altered or removed, may be related to diabetes and some of its sequelae.
