OK, here's a summary of a series of notes Micheal Eades MD has posted over the past few weeks.
I'm sure some of the more studious among you will find it interesting.
If you can't open it, does anyone know another way to access it?
I can copy it to my own website at a push, but it's worth making it available for people to look at.
The science bit refers to rat studies. The rodent has a distributed pancreas, whereas the human has a single organ. Also the rat has many times the Beta Cell capacity than the human whereas the human has more alpha cells (which secrete glucagon) and which detect and trigger the insulin response.. The rat has larger Isle of Langerhans. So the etiology of insulin resistance is different, which the article does not allow for. Making like for like comparisons is no longer a safe assumption to make when reviewing rodent studies, and the read across is not quite so gold plated.
