Combined diet and exercise training decreases serum lipids associated with insulin resistance

Obesity (Silver Spring)Published Single-group lifestyle intervention study

Authors' conclusion

These data show that serum sphingolipid species previously linked to insulin resistance in humans can be reduced with insulin-sensitizing lifestyle interventions. Furthermore, individuals with elevated serum TAG may significantly benefit from lifestyle interventions that increase insulin sensitivity due to a greater decrease in serum lipids related to insulin resistance.
