The dose-response relationship between insulin concentration and palmitate flux (left) for a single representative insulin-sensitive subject. The insulin concentration required for a 50% suppression of palmitate flux (IC50) is used as an estimate of adipose tissue insulin sensitivity. This is calculated after linearization of the relationship by logarithmic transformation (right).
