title: New insights into lipid metabolism in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
abstract: Perturbations of lipid metabolism are common in diabetes. Therefore, an understanding of the underlying mechanism of lipid metabolism and in particular the role of insulin is a critical issue. The review aims to provide evidence that hypertriglyceridaemia is central to many features of diabetic dyslipidaemia.
