Insulin Resistance and Inflammation

Posted Jun 05 2011 2:42pm

I came across this paper that shows the effects of overfeeding.  There have been questions as to which comes first - inflammation or insulin resistance.  This study overfed humans subjects for a month.  Afterwards, subjects gained fat mass and showed signs of insulin resistance.  There was no change in inflammatory makers.

It's good news in a way, because if you can control the excessive calorie intake, you can reduce insulin resistance and ultimately inflammation as well.
