From the book reviews: "This volume reviews in 23 chapters the lipid and lipoprotein changes induced by diabetes mellitus. It contains didactic color illustrations and many references. For clinical and research diabetologists, pharmacologists and biochemists." (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 12 (1), September, 2014)
