The role of glucose, insulin and NEFA in regulating tissue triglyceride accumulation: substrate cooperation in adipose tissue versus substrate competition in skeletal muscle

Metabolic factors initiating adipose tissue expansion and ectopic triglyceride accumulation are not completely understood. We aimed to investigate the independent role of circulating glucose, NEFA and insulin on glucose and NEFA uptake, and lipogenesis in skeletal muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT).
