Excess portal venous long-chain fatty acids induce syndrome X via HPA axis and sympathetic activation [PDF]
We tested the hypothesis that excessive portal venous supply of long-chain fatty acids to the liver contributes to the development of insulin resistance via activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) and sympathetic system.
