Are shrunken fat cells still insulin resistant?
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
Are shrunken fat cells still insulin resistant?
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
No. No. No. In fact, that's why with the slow insulin resistance, the reversal of that like over the 90 days in the type 2 diabetic patients that we had in our published case series, uh that would have been not that we measured this, but it would have been because of a shrinking of the fat cell.
