Abstract

Insulin resistance in the liver and peripheral tissues together with a pancreatic cell defect are the common causes of type 2 diabetes. It is now appreciated that insulin resistance can result from a defect in the insulin receptor signaling system, at a site post binding of insulin to its receptor. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) have been shown to be negative regulators of the insulin receptor. Inhibiton of PTPases may be an effective method in the ...
