Introduction Offspring born from pregnancy complicated by diabetes have a lifelong increased risk of insulin resistance. In humans, such offspring have a 4- to 8-fold higher risk, beyond genetic risk, to develop type 2 diabetes, metabolic

point, to our knowledge, only two clinical studies exist specifically evaluating insulin resistance or impaired glucose tolerance respectively in the context of antipsychotic treatment ( Henderson et al . 2009 , Smith et al . 2013 ). Both examined

Introduction Acute insulin resistance is common following trauma, hemorrhage, sepsis, burn, and critical illness ( Ikezu et al . 1997 , Carter 1998 , Van den Berghe et al . 2001 , Cree & Wolfe 2008 ). Chronic insulin resistant states, such as

Introduction Obesity is associated with elevated circulating free fatty acids (FFAs) and FFAs cause insulin resistance ( Lewis et al . 2002 , Xiao et al . 2008 ). FFAs induce oxidative stress ( Nakamura et al . 2009 , Yuzefovych et al . 2010

Introduction Insulin resistance (IR) is characterized by the reduction of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and disposal in insulin target tissues including skeletal muscle, the liver, the heart and the adipose, which could be responsible for
