Diabetes mellitus, computer artwork
Diabetes mellitus, computer artwork. Diabetes is caused by low levels of the hormone insulin and resistance to insulin by the body cells. Without insulin, the body cannot metabolise glucose as an energy source and the build up of glucose in the blood can be damaging. The progression from green to red seen here could illustrate dangerous levels glucose in the blood

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork from Science Photo Library depicts the intricate physiology of diabetes mellitus. The image showcases the detrimental effects caused by low levels of insulin and resistance to this vital hormone within our body cells. In the absence of sufficient insulin, glucose metabolism is impaired, leading to a dangerous accumulation of glucose in the bloodstream. The progression depicted here, transitioning from vibrant green to alarming red hues, serves as a visual representation of escalating blood sugar levels that can pose significant risks. This illustration powerfully emphasizes the potential dangers associated with uncontrolled diabetes. With its meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, this art piece sheds light on a complex disorder affecting millions worldwide. It highlights how malfunctioning physiological processes can disrupt normal bodily functions and underscores the importance of understanding diabetes mellitus for medical professionals and individuals alike. By showcasing various elements such as organs, vessels, hormones like insulin, and glycogen storage sites within our endocrine system, this artwork provides an insightful glimpse into the intricacies underlying type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It serves as both a warning sign for those at risk or already diagnosed with this condition while also offering valuable educational material for researchers studying ways to combat it. Science Photo Library's dedication to capturing visually stunning yet scientifically accurate images shines through once again in this thought-provoking depiction of diabetes mellitus – reminding us all about the critical need for continued research and awareness surrounding this prevalent disease.
