The Role of Skeletal Muscle Insulin Resistance in the Pathogenesis of the Metabolic Syndrome

A small 2007 study indicates defects in the insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle play a major role in the development of the metabolic syndrome, suggesting interventions to maintain and improve the ability of muscle cells to take up glucose in response to insulin, including exercise, may play a particularly important role in the prevention and/or amelioration of the metabolic syndrome.
