Comments by Jüergen M. Lehmann, Glaxo Wellcome Inc. Research and Development, Research Triangle Park, N.C.

More than 15 million people in the United States suffer from non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). No less than 40 million are obese. With so many sufferers, it should be no surprise that this paper, which provides a possible molecular explanation linking these costly and often fatal disorders, is so widely cited.

MISSING LINK: From left, lead scientists Steven Kliewer, Tim Willson, and Jürgen Lehmann discovered a possible causal connection between diabetes and obesity. Jüergen M. Lehmann and the team of investigators at Glaxo Wellcome Inc. Research and Development in Research Triangle Park, ...
