RESUMO
There is a large body of evidence which indicates that elevated plasma levels of FFA are a major cause of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and liver. Normalizing plasma FFA levels is, therefore, proposed as a novel approach to reduce insulin resistance, the risk of Type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic vascular disease.
