A Comprehensive Review on Insulin Resistance
Abstract: Insulin resistance is a complex condition where cells in the body, such as those in the liver, fat, and muscle, do not respond properly to insulin. Insulin resistance can be temporary or incurable, leading to increased insulin production known as hyperinsulinemia, which may contribute to obesity and eventually progress to type 2 diabetes. This mini-review elaborates the historical context of insulin discovery and its therapeutic use. It highlights the importance …
