Insights into obesity and insulin resistance from the study of extreme human phenotypes.

European journal of endocrinology - 1 Oct 2002

O'Rahilly Stephen

Abstract excerpt

The detailed study of rare, extreme human phenotypes has a long and distinguished history in endocrinology. Such individuals have often acted as 'experiments of nature' providing important novel information regarding endocrine physiology and mechanistic insights relevant to the study of more comm...
