Product Description
The past two decades have seen explosive gains in our understanding of the physiology and basic mechanisms of insulin action and the critical importance of insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of clinical disorders such as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, essential hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Insulin Resistance offers the first comprehensive review of the field, with integrated chapters providing up to date coverage of the essential components of basic and clinical research that have contributed to current understanding of the topic. There are chapters on basic mechanisms of insulin action, in depth discussions of insulin resistance syndromes from epidemiological, clinical and biochemical viewpoints and a discussion of therapeutic approaches to insulin resistance. Insulin Resistance will be an invaluable resource for clinicians and scientists with an interest in the mechanisms of insulin action, the clinical sequelae of hyperinsulinemia and future therapies of insulin resistance.
