Validation of a novel index to assess insulin resistance of adipose tissue lipolytic activity in obese subjects
Insulin resistance in adipose tissue increases the release of free fatty acids into the circulation, which likely contributes to impaired insulin action in liver and skeletal muscle associated with obesity. However, reliable assessment of adipose tissue insulin resistance requires performing a hyper...
