Insulin action is severely impaired in adipocytes of apparently healthy overweight and obese subjects

Many overweight/obese subjects appear metabolically healthy with normal in vivo insulin sensitivity. Still, they have increased long‐term risk of developing type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that adipose tissue dysfunction involving… Click to show full abstract
