Abstract in brief

  • Fatty acids in the diet can influence insulin resistance by affecting inflammation, which disrupts communication between insulin and cells.
  • The molecular mechanisms behind insulin resistance vary across different organs, with inflammation playing a key role in this process.
  • The review explores how different types of fatty acids contribute to inflammation and consequently impact insulin resistance in various parts of the body.]

@ollieD68 @jani_tuomi @drandyphung @doccywes @drjasonfung @DietDoctor Insulin resistance is a huge concern. Insulin resistance in the muscles causes any glucose in the blood stream to produce elevated insulin production. Insulin resistance in the liver causes it to produce excess glucose. Here's a good primer: https://t.co/PwsKoXz8UR https://t.co/1wrlGsQAh8
