Association Between Adipose Tissue Characteristics and Metabolic Flexibility in Humans: A Systematic Review
Adipose tissue total amount, distribution, and phenotype influence metabolic health. This may be partially mediated by the metabolic effects that these adipose tissue characteristics exert on the nearby and distant tissues. Thus, adipose tissue may influence the capacity of cells, tissues, and the o...

In conclusion, evidence suggests that adipose tissue may directly or indirectly influence MetF to glucose plus insulin stimulation, an effect probably explained by skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity.Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO [CRD42020167810].Alice GlavesFrancisco Díaz-CastroJaviera FaríasRodrigo Ramírez-RomeroJose E.
