The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, primarily in skeletal muscle, fat and liver, and a relative failure of the pancreatic b-cell (1, 2). Considerable controversy surrounds the issue of which of these deficiencies is the primary cause of diabetes.

Insulin Resistance: From Mechanisms to Therapeutic Strategies
Insulin resistance is the pivotal pathogenic component of many metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, and is defined as a state of reduced responsiveness of insulin-targeting tissues to physiological levels of insulin.

Adipose tissue and insulin resistance in obese.
Currently, obesity has become a global health issue and is referred to as an epidemic. Dysfunctional obese adipose tissue plays a pivotal role in the development of insulin resistance.

Mechanisms of Insulin Action and Insulin Resistance.
The 1921 discovery of insulin was a Big Bang from which a vast and expanding universe of research into insulin action and resistance has issued. In the intervening century, some discoveries have matured, coalescing into solid and fertile ground for ...

Association between insulin resistance and the development of cardiovascular disease
For many years, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the leading cause of death around the world. Often associated with CVD are comorbidities such as obesity, abnormal lipid profiles and insulin resistance.

Brain insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer disease: concepts and conundrums
Considerable overlap has been identified in the risk factors, comorbidities and putative pathophysiological mechanisms of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRDs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), two of the most pressing epidemics of our time.

Insulin is a peptide secreted by the pancreas and plays an important role in the regulation of glucose metabolism in peripheral tissues. Although the role of insulin in the periphery is well understood, less is known about its multifactorial role in the ...

Summary Metabolomic profiling of obese versus lean humans reveals a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)-related metabolite signature that is suggestive of increased catabolism of BCAA and correlated with insulin resistance.
