Adipose Insulin Resistance and Decreased Adiponectin Are Correlated With Metabolic Abnormalities in Nonobese Men

Abstract

In nonobese Japanese men with high ATIS, the AN level was not associated with metabolic characteristics. On the other hand, subjects with low ATIS showed reduced muscle insulin sensitivity, and those with a decreased AN level demonstrated multiple metabolic abnormalities, represented by fatty liver and dyslipidemia.
