Diabetes mellitus is a disease with tremendous health and economic burden. A better understanding of how normal glucose homeostasis is maintained and the pathogenesis is important to identify new ways for diabetes treatment. This book addresses multiple aspects of this area of research. Key features: * Written by experts in the field * Informs on important topics related to the regulation of glucose homeostasis and the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, a field of intense research interest INDICE: G Protein-Coupled Receptors as Regulators of Glucose Homeostasis and Therapeutic Targets for Diabetes MellitusYa-Xiong Tao and Xu-Fang LiangRegulation of Glucose Homeostasis by GLP-1Prashant Nadkarni, Oleg G.
