Researchers investigate the underlying mechanisms of endothelial insulin resistance involved in obesity-associated diabetes.

If insulin can’t get out of blood vessels, it can’t act in its target tissues. “Endothelial cells are full of insulin ...

Insulin resistance occurs when your cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone your pancreas produces in response to ...

Insulin allows cells to absorb and use glucose. In people with insulin resistance, the cells are unable to use insulin effectively. Insulin resistance occurs when cells in the body do not respond ...
