Metabolic tissues implicated in obesity-induced insulin resistance. Adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle are involved in glucose uptake, glucose production, and glucose processing. These tissues therefore are paramount in obesity and the progression of insulin resistance. A combination of defective fatty acid storage and metabolism together with immune cell infiltration and a pro-inflammatory tissue milieu result in dysregulation of insulin signaling.
