description: Remarkable advances have been made in the field of insulin action with the aid of gene analysis techniques, which enable the clarification of the mechanism of the insulin receptor diseases and the structure - function relationship in glucose transporters. The book summarizes these recent advances in the field of insulin action. The volume also discusses insulin binding and action of insulin analogues, insulin receptor diseases, the substrates of insulin receptor kinase, abnormal insulin action in NIDDM and the mechanism of glucose transport, thus integrating the recent knowledge of insulin action from insulin to glucose transport. This proceedings volume is therefore an excellent review on recent advances in the research in insulin action and its disorders.
