An oxide transport chain essential for balanced insulin action

Background and aimsPatients with overnutrition, obesity, the atherometabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes typically develop fatty liver, atherogenic dyslipoproteinemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension. These features share an unexplained origin – namely, imbalanced insulin action, also called pathway-selective insulin resistance and responsiveness.
