About the Book

Diabetes is now one of the major causes of morbidity worldwide. In many cases, the onset of diabetes is progressive, developing via a condition of insulin resistance. This book considers the development of this condition, its consequences and clinical and therapeutic aspects. The book reviews the normal biology of insulin action on glucose, lipids and proteins. It considers the pathological basis for insulin resistance in animal models and humans, and discusses the influence of heredity, dietary factors and exercise. Clinical consequences including dyslipidaemia, hypertension and polycystic ovary syndrome, and therapeutic strategies for treatment are also examined. * Provides an expert review of the phenomenon of insulin resistance * Brings together a host of recent research for the first time * Written by leading experts in biological and clinical research

Review :
"The book is intended for specialists…however with the current interest in obesity and the threats it poses to the general public health, others will also find it of interest." (E-STREAMS, September 2006) "...a major contribution to the increasing body of work...this book appears at an appropriate moment to educate and excite young investigators…" (New England Journal of Medicine, November 17, 2005)
