Abstract

Pima Indians have the highest reported prevalence rate of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in the world, so that metabolic comparisons with caucasians, who have a much lower rate, should provide insights into the pathogenesis of NIDDM. We have compared 81 caucasians with 211 Pima India...
