Insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease
Insulin resistance can be defined as a decrease in the response of tissues and cells to insulin stimulation. Thus, insulin resistance is characterized by impaired glucose uptake and impaired glucose utilization (for glucose oxidation for energy) in the cell. When there is insulin resistance, the pancreas must increase the release of insulin into the blood, increasing the concentration of insulin in the blood.
