High-energy radiation, such as x-rays, gamma rays, alpha particles, beta particles, and neutrons, can damage DNA and cause cancer. These forms of radiation can be released in accidents at nuclear power plants and when atomic weapons are made, tested, or used.
The inflammatory response can cause:
B. pain, swelling, and a local rise in temperature.
Autoantibodies that contribute to the destruction of beta cells contributes to the development of type I diabetes mellitus (DM)
Explanation:
The autoantibodies produced in the cells of the islet of Langerhans in the pancreas are the main contributors of type I diabetes mellitus, which is an autoimmune-mediated disease.
DM type I is caused due to inhibition of insulin secretion by the beta cells of the pancreas. The autoantibodies are produced due to the presence of autoantigens like GAD65 which causes autoimmune pathogenesis of the pancreatic beta cells.
Along with these autoantibodies, the T-cell receptors act as mediators in the destruction of beta cells which finally results in DM.
