Metabolic syndrome: Difference between revisions

[[Metabolic starvation]] in obese individuals with insulin resistance refers to a situation where the body's cells are not able to efficiently use glucose as a source of energy due to insulin resistance. Despite having high levels of glucose in the bloodstream, the cells are unable to take up and utilize the glucose for energy production. As a result, the cells become "starved" of energy, even though the body has abundant glucose and fat stores.
