Diminished tissue sensitivity to the metabolic actions of insulin is a characteristic feature of various pathological conditions termed the “cardiometabolic syndrome.”1–3 Factors that contribute to the complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors required for impaired insulin signaling include obesity, inactivity, and aging. Recent research has underscored the importance of heighten...
