Abstract in brief

Insulin resistance is a condition where tissues in the body don't respond well to insulin, leading to problems like high blood sugar, abnormal fats in the blood, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The abnormalities caused by insulin resistance, such as high blood sugar, lipid imbalance, and inflammation, can damage the heart and blood vessels by promoting plaque buildup and other issues.
Overall, insulin resistance impacts heart health through multiple mechanisms, including disrupted cell signaling, poor regulation of metabolism, and damage to blood vessels, increasing the risk of developing CVD.

@NutritionMadeS3, What's your view on insulin resistance as a risk factor for CVD? This suggests that a bad lipid profile (high Trigs, low HDL, high ApoB/LDL) and endothelial dysfunction is caused by insulin resistance/altered insulin signaling. https://t.co/CFyvTiw5jv
