Understanding Insulin and Insulin Resistance is written in simple, clear language with diagrams that show the complex interplay of various factors in the initiation of insulin resistance. The design is systematic and meticulous, portraying topics in a flow from simple to complex. This resource is intended for a broad audience spanning across biochemistry, medicine, dentistry, academia, physicians, and research scholars. It extends the approach to biochemistry, physiology, metabolism of insulin along with the coverage of pathophysiology of insulin resistance, its effects on the body tissues, and its analysis on insulin resistance syndrome.

• Combines both intensive and extensive study material related to the topic
• Describes insulin resistance syndrome encompassing details regarding its prevalence and components
• Blends both theoretical and clinical knowledge related to insulin and insulin resistance syndrome
• Gathers the vast knowledge about insulin and insulin resistance in one volume, eliminating searches through hundreds of journal articles
