Insulin resistance precedes and predicts the beginning of type 2 diabetes (DM2), a chronic disease that causes high incidence and mortality around the world. In the affected people, insulin is not able to facilitate glucose capture by tissues and organs, which leads to an increase in blood glucose (chronic hyperglycemia). Because the skeletal muscle is […]
