Royal jelly supplementation reduces skeletal muscle lipotoxicity and insulin resistance in aged obese rats

Consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) in aged rats is associated with several metabolic disorders. The mechanism of skeletal muscle lipotoxicity and insulin resistance (IR) is multi-factorial, but the exact mechanism of how aging affects these processes unknown. Royal jelly (RJ) is a dietary supplement with many physiological and pharmacological properties. No previous studies have demonstrated the protective effects and mechanism of RJ in aged...
