Insulin resistance, beta cell dysfunction and visceral adiposity as predictors of incident diabetes: the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS) Family Study

TL;DR: Insulin resistance, beta cell dysfunction and VAT predicted incident type 1 diabetes, with evidence of a stronger association of VAT with type 2 diabetes among women than in men, and a significant sex × VAT interaction indicated a stronger link between VAT andType 2 diabetes in women.
Journal Article

New concepts in extracellular signaling for insulin action: the single gateway hypothesis.

TL;DR: The "single gateway hypothesis" is proposed to explain insulin's action on carbohydrate metabolism in vivo: insulin crosses the endothelial boundary in skeletal muscle and traverses the endothel barrier in adipose tissue to suppress lipolysis and declining plasma free fatty acids appear to signal suppression of glucose production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normal triglyceride levels despite insulin resistance in African Americans: role of lipoprotein lipase.

TL;DR: In African Americans, increased PH-LPL activity is associated with a decrease in TG levels, and the lack of an effect of insulin resistance on PH- LPL could allow LPL to clear TG even in the presence of insulin Resistance.
