What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Long-term consumption (i.e., several weeks to months) of a diet that is high in fat (\>35% daily calories from fat) is associated with the development of insulin resistance, a condition that can lead to a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Women tend to be better protected against the development of high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance compared with men, but it is not fully understand why this sex difference exists.
