In collaboration with the James group, we are undertaking a major study to identify defects in insulin signal transduction in skeletal muscle from at-risk individuals. We are also examining the possible role of the autonomic nervous system in the development of diabetes and obesity. Studies have also been established examining the effects of glutamine, an amino acid, on metabolism, both in isolation and in combination with a new diabetes medication. Glutamine appears to have a promising effect on glucose lowering in the post-meal state and may offer a simple, novel and effective treatment in type 2 diabetes.
