Brief description In morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes chronic levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are detrimental and diminish insulin's ability to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Paradoxically, ROS also promote insulin action by inhibiting enzymes known as protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). This proposal will determine whether the promotion of ROS for the inhibition of PTPs early in the progression of type 2 diabetes may be of therapeutic benefit.
