title: Clinical research of glucose metabolism.
abstract: Glucose metabolism in diabetes and in hypoglycemic states has been studied at IIIrd Medical Department for more than 30 years. The research is now concentrated on the evaluation of insulin action on receptor and postreceptor levels and in biochemical changes accompanying early stages of diabetic microangiopathy. The changes of insulin action has been examined by using the clamp techniques also in patients with organic hyperinsulinism. We study molecular changes of insulin action and pathogenesis of vascular complications.
