title: Pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus.
abstract: Techniques have been developed for examining the binding of insulin to its target cells and for evaluating the in vivo action of insulin, rekindling interest in the possible role of insulin resistance in adult-onset diabetes. A host of new data have accumulated regarding the contribution of glucagon to the syndrome.
