Insulin mediated processes in platelets, erythrocytes and monocytes/macrophages: effects of essential fatty acid metabolism
AK Dutta-Roy - Prostaglandins, leukotrienes and essential fatty acids, 1994 - Elsevier
Deficiencies in the secretion and/or action of insulin are responsible not only for the clinical
syndromes of insulin and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, but also contribute to the
pathophysiology of other more insidious and endemic health problems, such as impaired
glucose tolerance, obesity, hyperlipidemia, abnormal essential fatty acid (EFA) metabolism
and related cardiovascular and immune disorders (1, 2). Clearly, the prospect for controlling
these disorders depends on elucidating the biochemical mechanisms involved in the …
