Abstract
Insulin resistance is commonly associated with obesity. The present study was performed to investigate the relative importance of total fat mass versus localization of adipose tissue in insulin-stimulated glucose disposal (Rd) and skeletal muscle glycogen synthase (GS) activity in obese individuals. Twenty obese women with an average body mass index (BMI) of 37.8 +/- 1.3 kg/m2 and a waist to hip ratio (WHR) ranging from 0.78 to 1.02 were...
