Diabetes researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institutet have developed a novel technique that makes it possible to monitor insulin resistance in a non-invasive manner over time in mice. The new method, presented in the journal Scientific Reports, can be used to assess insulin resistance during progression and intervention of metabolic diseases.
Insulin resistance is a key contributing factor to a variety of metabolic diseases, including cardio-vascular disease, the metabolic syndrome and Diabetes type 2. A major challenge in the field of insulin resistance is to be able to monitor this process dynamically in individual cell types of insulin target tissues, such as fat, liver, brain, kidney or pancreatic islets in the living organism.
