Insulin Analogues for Insulin Receptor Studies and Medical Applications [PDF]
The structure of insulin molecule was determined by Dorothy Hodgkin in 1969. Subsequently, it has been established that insulin must rearrange upon binding to its receptor (Insulin Receptor – IR).

The role of insulin receptor substrate 2 in hypothalamic and β cell function [PDF]
Insulin receptor substrate 2 (Irs2) plays complex roles in energy homeostasis. We generated mice lacking Irs2 in β cells and a population of hypothalamic neurons (RIPCreIrs2KO), in all neurons (NesCreIrs2KO), and in proopiomelanocortin neurons ...

Fat oxidation, fitness and skeletal muscle expression of oxidative/lipid metabolism genes in South Asians: implications for insulin resistance? [PDF]
<p><b>Background:</b> South Asians are more insulin resistant than Europeans, which cannot be fully explained by differences in adiposity. We investigated whether differences in oxidative capacity and capacity for fatty acid utilisation
