Insulin Signaling

by George Grunberger

Insulin Signaling Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Diabetes having already been named the sole non-infectious epidemic of the 21st century even as the century was barely off the starting block, contributors from a wide range of medical specialties—most in the US, Japan, and Switzerland—summarize the current understanding of insulin action and insulin signal transduction. They cover structural aspects of the insulin receptor and its downstream effectors, insulin signaling cascades, molecular aspects of insulin action, and transgenics and gene knockout models of insulin action.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

With contributions from the leading researchers in the field, this volume brings together the latest studies on insulin action and signal transduction to provide a state-of-the-art reference for graduate researchers and students in diabetes and endocrinology. Insulin Signaling: From Cultured Cells to Animal Models is a comprehensive study of the regulation of molecular events by insulin at a cellular level, utilizing experimental techniques ranging from molecular systems through phenotypic expression in transgenic and knockout models. Content includes structural aspects of the insulin teceptor and its downstream effectors, mutations in the insulin receptor gene, insulin receptor folding, and IRS protein structure.
