Intramuscular triglyceride and muscle insulin sensitivity: evidence for a relationship in nondiabetic subjects.
Intracellular triglyceride (TG) is an important energy source for skeletal muscle. However, recent evidence suggests that if muscle contains abnormally high TG stores its sensitivity to insulin may be reduced, and this could predispose to type II diabetes. To test this hypothesis, we measured muscle...
