Molecular and Cellular Biology of Diabetes Mellitus: Insulin Secretion Vol 1 (Molecular & cellular biology of diabetes mellitus)
Molecular and Cellular Biology of Diabetes Mellitus Insulin Secretion Vol 1 - Molecular & cellular biology of diabetes mellitus Author:Boris Draznin, S. Melmed, D. Leroith The first volume in a three-part series, "Insulin Secretion" covers recent findings on the physiology and biochemistry of insulin release in both normal and diabetic states, highlighting the signal transduction system. This complex system includes traditional elements, such as hormone receptors, along with newly described components, such as G-p... more »roteins, intracellular kinases, and derivatives of the plasma membrane phospholipids. It reflects the various mechanisms by which hormones and nutrients interacting with B-cells influence the synthesis of insulin and islet cell secretory processes.« less
