Insulin resistance, also known as impaired insulin sensitivity, is the result of a decreased reaction of insulin signaling to blood glucose levels. This state is observed when muscle cells, adipose...
The metabolic processes that help your body use food for energy and nourishment are extremely complex. The hormone insulin is a key player. When you eat, sugars from the food enter your bloodstream, which triggers your pancreas to release insulin. That insulin helps the sugar get into your cells to be used for energy. The insulin then ushers any extra sugar to your liver to be stored for later. Insulin also helps your body break down and use lipids, or fats. The amount of insulin in your body go...
AbstractPeripheral resistance to insulin action is the major mechanism causing the metabolic syndrome and eventually type 2 diabetes mellitus. The metabolic derangement associated with insulin resi...
When the cells cannot absorb glucose, or blood sugar, its levels build up in the blood. If glucose levels are higher than usual but not high enough to indicate diabetes, doctors call this prediabetes. Prediabetes often occurs in people with high insulin resistance. Around 1 in 3 people in the United States have prediabetes, according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In this article, we look at the current understanding of insulin resistance and its role as a ...
