Hepatic insulin resistance and muscle insulin resistance are characterized by distinct postprandial plasma metabolite profiles: a cross-sectional study

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

People with muscle IR or liver IR have distinct postprandial plasma metabolite profiles, with more unfavorable postprandial metabolite responses in those with liver IR compared to muscle IR.

Study context

Population
Women and men with BMI 25–40 kg/m², aged 40–75 years, with predominant muscle insulin resistance (IR) or liver IR
Participants
214 women
Exposure
Predominant liver IR vs predominant muscle IR
Outcome
Postprandial plasma metabolite iAUCs (247 NMR metabolite measures) after a high-fat mixed meal
Follow-up
T = 0, 30, 60, 120, 240 min

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Postprandial plasma metabolite iAUCs, liver IR vs muscle IR
Postprandial metabolite iAUCs significantly different between liver and muscle IR
68

Observational data: associations, not effects.
