Fat mass threshold associated with a significant deterioration of insulin sensitivity in postmenopausal women

Abstract The aim of this study was to establish a cut-off value of percentage of fat mass (%FM) at which insulin sensitivity (IS) is significantly altered in sedentary postmenopausal women. Our results suggest that maintaining a %FM below 41% would minimize the deterioration of IS and its associated...

Description
Summary:Abstract The aim of this study was to establish a cut-off value of percentage of fat mass (%FM) at which insulin sensitivity (IS) is significantly altered in sedentary postmenopausal women. Our results suggest that maintaining a %FM below 41% would minimize the deterioration of IS and its associated risks.
