Endothelial insulin resistance induced by adrenomedullin mediates obesity-associated diabetes.
Case-Control Study
Human
2025 Feb 7This study shows that insulin helps open up blood vessels in muscles by making nitric oxide, which lets more blood flow through — and when this doesn’t work, muscles get less blood. This supports the idea that insulin helps deliver things like creatine to muscle cells by improving blood flow.
