Heterogeneity in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake among different muscle groups in healthy lean people and people with obesity

Conclusions/interpretationObesity-associated insulin resistance is generalised across all major muscles, and is not caused by alterations in muscle fibre type composition or perfusion. In addition, insulin-stimulated whole-body glucose disposal relative to fat-free mass provides a reliable index of muscle glucose uptake rate.Graphical abstract
