Summary Introduction
To review:
The physiological and biochemical basis for Aretaeus’s finding.
Introduction:
The Greek work diabeinein is the root word from which term diabetes have been derived. The term diabeinein refers “to go to excess” and it was used by Aretaeus for the first time. He defined diabetes as a group of symptoms that involves thirst and liquefaction of limbs and flesh into urine.

This accumulation causes symptoms such as a tall, thin frame, flushed cheeks, and osteoporosis (thinning of the bones). These individuals should limit their intake of proteins that contain methionine, such as egg whites. Using your understanding of biochemistry, explain why people with Homocystinuria should not consume egg whites and other such proteins.arrow_forwardIn healthy adults, the concentration of glucose in blood is approximately80 to 110 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl).

Explain why an individual on the keto diet may have a blood ketone body concentration of up to 3 mM. What biochemical pathways are active in an individual adhering to the keto diet? What pathways are largely inactive? Protein intake is kept low because a high-protein diet would inhibit ketosis. Explain why.
