Chronic Adipose Tissue Inflammation Linking Obesity to Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes
Obesity is one of the major health burdens of the 21st century as it contributes to the growing prevalence of its related comorbidities, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Obesity, Insulin Resistance, and Type 2 Diabetes: Associations and Therapeutic Implications
Obesity is a triggering factor for diabetes associated with insulin resistance. In individuals who are obese, higher amounts of non-esterified fatty acids, glycerol, hormones, and pro-inflammatory cytokines that could participate in the development of ...

Obesity, Bioactive Lipids, and Adipose Tissue Inflammation in Insulin Resistance
Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The exact mechanism by which adipose tissue induces insulin resistance is still unclear.

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 ...

Post-operative insulin resistance
Post-operative insulin resistance (IR) is a recognised marker of surgical stress. However, the reasons underlying post-operative IR and its clinical value are still unclear.
