Insulin signaling proteins in pancreatic islets of insulin-resistant rats induced by glucocorticoid

Chronic administration of glucocorticoids induces insulin resistance that is compensated by an increase in p-cell function and mass. Since insulin signaling is involved in the control of p-cell function and mass, we investigated the content of insulin pathway proteins in pancreatic islets. Rats were...
