Knockout Mice Challenge our Concepts of Glucose Homeostasis and the Pathogenesis of Diabetes
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
A central component of type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome is insulin resistance. Insulin exerts a multifaceted and highly integrated series of actions via its intracellular signaling systems. Generation of mice carrying null mutations of the genes encoding proteins in the insulin signaling pathway provides a unique approach to determining the role of individual proteins in the molecular mechanism of...
