Within the past decade literally thousands of scientific papers have been published on insulin resistance and the mechanisms of insulin action. The past five years saw the publication of over 20,000 articles on insulin resistance in obesity, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and dyslipidemia. This work has been fueled in part by enormous technological advances in molecular biology, cell physiology and cell signaling, insulin-receptor mapping, immunologic models of insulin resistance and insulin-receptor activity, and the in vivo assessment of insulin action.
Insulin Resistance, an excellent review of cutting-edge research, should prove an invaluable resource for diabetes researchers and
