Key result
Subjects in the top tertile of postprandial adipose tissue blood flow response had significantly higher insulin sensitivity compared to those in the lower tertiles (1.29 vs 0.90; P=0.01).
Why the study?
Is postprandial adipose tissue blood flow response related to insulin sensitivity in human subjects?
Observational (n=15)
Is postprandial adipose tissue blood flow response related to insulin sensitivity in human subjects?
Absolute Event Rate: 1.29% vs 0.9%
p-value: p=0.01
Impaired regulation of postprandial adipose tissue blood flow is closely related to insulin resistance, independent of adiposity.

Postprandial adipose tissue blood flow response associates with insulin sensitivity; leaves open whether flow modulation improves outcomes in insulin resistance.
Karpe et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Insulin sensitivity (n=15). Top tertile of postprandial adipose tissue blood flow (ATBF) response vs. Lower tertiles of ATBF response was evaluated on Insulin sensitivity based on nonesterified fatty acid suppression [ISI(NEFA)] (p=0.01). Subjects in the top tertile of postprandial adipose tissue blood flow response had significantly higher insulin sensitivity compared to those in the lower tertiles (1.29 vs 0.90; P=0.01).
