Insulin Resistance and Cancer Epidemiology, Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications /

This book reviews the epidemiological associations between insulin resistance and cancer. This is followed by reviews of animal models which support this relationship and provide insight into potential mechanisms. Several chapters then provide detailed examination of the cellular and molecular chang...
