Age-related susceptibility to insulin resistance arises from a combination of CPT1B decline and lipid overload
Abstract Background The skeletal muscle plays a central role in glucose homeostasis through the uptake of glucose from the extracellular medium in response to insulin. A number of factors are known to disrupt the normal response to insulin leading to the emergence of insulin resistance (IR). Advance...
