Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, and the hyperinsulinemia commonly observed in patients is thought to be a compensatory response. Yet it has been difficult to disentangle cause and effect. Mehran et al. (2012) provide genetic evidence that a reduction of insulin secretion prevents high-fat feeding-induced obesity.
2 型糖尿病的特征是胰岛素抵抗,而患者中常见的高胰岛素血症被认为是一种代偿性反应。然而,要理清因果关系一直很困难。Mehran 等人(2012 年)提供了遗传证据,表明胰岛素分泌减少可预防高脂肪喂养引起的肥胖。
