Abstract

Insulin resistance can be good for your health when it is caused by klotho, a hormone that prolongs life. A reduction in insulin-stimulated intracellular glucose availability may prevent intracellular lipid overload and lipotoxicity, a proposed mechanism of hte life-shortening metabolic syndrome.
