Gender Disparities in Type 2 Diabetes Risk Linked to Adipose Tissue and Insulin Sensitivity

New research presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Venice, Italy, and published in the International Journal of Obesity reveals potential reasons for the higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in men compared to women. The study explores the role of adipose tissue and insulin sensitivity in this gender disparity, suggesting that differences in adipose insulin resistance between men and women may contribute to the increased risk of T2D in men.
