title: Molecular biology as a tool in the study of glucose transport and metabolism.
abstract: The rationale for pharmacologically increasing the transcription of the insulin responsive-glucose transporter of muscle and fat in diabetes is presented. The experimental approaches to achieve such a goal are outlined as well as a delineation of the assumptions and potential problems associated with this approach.
