Insulin Resistance as a Risk Factor in Visceral and Neurological Disorders

Insulin Resistance as a Risk Factor in Visceral and Neurological Disorders provides an overview on the risk factors for insulin resistance in visceral and neurological disorders. The book focuses on molecular mechanisms and signal transduction processes associated with the links. The comprehensive information in this monograph will not only help in the early detection of insulin resistance related visceral and neurological disorders, but also promote the discovery of new drugs which may block or delay onset in elderly patients. Understanding these processes is important not only for patients, caregivers and health professionals, but also for health policymakers who must plan for national resources. Presents the first comprehensive book dedicated to insulin resistance as a risk factor for neurological disordersFocuses on the molecular mechanisms and signal transduction processes associated with insulin resistanceDiscusses insulin resistance to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia and depression INDICE: 1.
