Insulin-sensitive obesity in humans - a 'favorable fat' phenotype?

Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM - 1 Mar 2012

Samocha-Bonet D, Chisholm D J, Tonks K, Campbell L V, Greenfield J R

Abstract excerpt

In most humans, obesity and insulin resistance coexist. However, a unique group of obese individuals, who exhibit better insulin sensitivity than expected for their adiposity, has been the focus of recent research interest. We critically examine cross-sectional and lifestyle intervention studies in obese humans classified as 'insulin-sensitive' versus 'insulin-resistant' and review the few longitudinal studies...
