Mild diabetes was induced in adult rats with streptozotocin (45 mg/kg body weight), and insulin sensitivity, glycogen deposition and glycogen synthase activity assessed in liver and muscle 5 weeks later. Diabetic rats had significantly elevated fasting blood glucose concentrations (5.6 +/- 0.1 versu

In skeletal muscle, a defect in the covalent activation of glycogen synthase by insulin has been identified in insulin resistance and in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, but a similar defect in insulin action at the adipose tissue has not been demonstrated. We sought to determine wh
## Differences in the expression of disease in individuals affect patients' adaptive behaviors and vary their needs for self-care assistance. This survey compared self-report responses of two groups of ambulatory diabetic clinic patients (N = 246) on 12 parameters of adaptation suggested by the li
In order to evaluate the importance of a defect in insulin mediated non-oxidative glucose metabolism and glycogen synthase activity in skeletal muscles in obese subjects with and without Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus we studied: 10 lean and 10 obese control subjects and 12 obese d
A 52-year-old-woman with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus developed carcinoma of the pancreas and had a Whipple's resection performed. She required pancreatic exocrine supplements and insulin post-operatively. Five years later metastatic disease became apparent, and was accompanied by episodi
