Medicine Grand Rounds: Adipose Tissue Mechanisms Underlying Insulin Resistance @ LKSC Berg Hall | Palo Alto | California | United States

Presenter: Tracey McLaughlin, MD
Professor of Endocrinology

Stanford University

Dr. McLaughlin conducts a number of clinical research studies related to obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Current studies include: 1) the impact of macronutrient composition on weight loss and cardiocascular risk (diabetic and nondiabetic patients); 2) comparison of weight loss and cardiovascular risk reduction in diabetic patients treated with different classes of antihyperglycemic drugs; 3) the role of the adipocyte in modulating insulin resistance
