[Insulin signal transduction disorder and development of insulin resistance].

Insulin action is initiated through the binding to its cell-surface receptor, stiring up a series of signal transduction and eventually reach various effectors which produce various physiological effects. Insulin signal transduction is crucial to insulin action. Impairment of insulin signal transduction results in attenuation of insulin action and finally leads to insulin resistance. This article reviewed the function of insulin signal transduction disorder in the development of insulin resistance.
