Every year between three and four hundred papers are published on
the topic of insulin action. This extraordinary publication rate
prevents any author from includ ing an exhaustive bibliography in
any review or book. Perhaps due to this there is no single text
that attempts to cover the effects and the mechanism of action of
insulin. This book is such an attempt. I intend to present a review
of the physiological effects of insulin, the pathology of defects
in the action of insulin, and the current views on the mechanism of
action of this hormone. I make no apology for the fact that the
bibliography will not be extensive and that the amount of
experimental detail and data discussed will be kept to a relevant
minimum. This book is not intended for the expert in the field, but
for the second- or third-year undergraduate and graduate student of
medicine, biochemistry, physiology or related disciplines, and will
be valuable as a reference source for research workers. The book is
presented as a guide, a summary of the ideas and facts; it will
present a reader with a foretaste of a fascinating and
ever-changing field. I have attempted to be up-to-date with
published research work. Any significant contributions to the field
not included in the first draft have been added as footnotes. I
assume a basic knowledge of the metabolic pathways of
carbohydrates, fats and proteins."
