Insulin Stimulated Glucose Uptake in Skeletal Muscle, Adipose Tissue and Liver: A Positron Emission Tomography Study.

CONCLUSIONS: We have provided threshold values which can be used to identify tissue specific insulin resistance. In addition, we found that insulin resistance measured by GU was only partially similar across all insulin sensitive tissues studied, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and liver, and was affected by obesity, aging and gender.
