[QUOTE="zanc, post: 96896, member: 1230"] "A gene that helps muscle cells burn fat can be radically altered and switched off if the cells carrying it are exposed to fat ....the altered cells become so engorged with unburnt fat, they become "diabetic", no longer accepting signals from the hormone insulin, which normally triggers the absorption of glucose from the bloodstream." First time I have read anything that describes the process of insulin resistance.
