Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies have clearly shown that the so-called metabolic syndrome which is linked to insulin resistance and a reduced glucose utilization of muscle represents an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, only little is known of the intracellular consequences of insulin resistance. An important feature of an altered substrate utilization is related to signal transduction of gene...
