Distinct lipid droplet characteristics and distribution unmask the apparent contradiction of the athlete's paradox

Objective: Intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) storage negatively associates with insulin resistance, albeit not in endurance-trained athletes. We investigated the putative contribution of lipid droplet (LD) morphology and subcellular localization to the so-called athlete's paradox. Methods: We perfo...
