Abstract :
Studies of a rat blood and skin were carried out using THz-TDs. The transmission and the attenuated total internal reflection geometries have been used for measuring the dielectric properties of the water solutions and biological samples with high glucose concentration. We discuss the reasons for the observed THz sensitivity to diabetes mellitus in the context of changes in the bounded water caused by glucose.
