In Diabetes Mellitus: Methods and Protocols, leading researchers and clinical investigators describe their cutting-edge techniques for studying these defects at both the molecular and biochemical levels. Written in step-by-step detail to ensure ready reproducibility and robust results, these techniques allow investigators, both novices and those already active in the field, to study every major facet of insulin production and action. Each protocol includes an introduction to the technique, an explanation of its application, and a list of materials. Practical notes discuss how to avoid pitfalls, as well as how to adapt the methods to your own research. Cutting-edge and highly practical, Diabetes Mellitus: Methods and Protocols provides basic scientists and clinical researchers, both experienced investigators and those new to the field, all the critical tools needed for the productive study of diabetes mellitus today. 410 0$aMethods in Molecular Medicine,$x1940-6037 ;$v83 606 $aDiseases 606 $aDiseases 615 0$aDiseases. 615 14$aDiseases. 676 $a616.46207 702 $aO?zcan$b Sabire$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910708105803321 996 $aDIABETES mellitus$9395225 997 $aUNINA
