    Impact of Minerals and Trace Elements on Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
    Author(s): Juan Terry*

    Essential micronutrients needed for the body's normal operation include minerals and trace elements. These components are especially advantageous for physiological processes. Several biochemical processes require the presence of minerals and trace elements, which also serve as cofactors for numerous enzymes and as stabilising elements in proteins and enzymes. Certain trace elements control important biological processes by attaching to the cell membrane's receptor site or by altering the receptor's structure to block the entry of specific molecules. Micronutrients perform a dual function: they keep cellular structures stable at ideal levels, but when levels are low, alternate pathways are opened up and illnesses may result. These crucial micronutrients reveal clear correlations with diabetes and have significant physiological effects... Read More»
