Abstract
Insulin resistance is evident in several clinical conditions such as obesity, diabetes type II, hypercortisolism. The mechanisms behind this resistance at the level of the target cell can be evaluated with measurements of insulin sensitivity with techniques both in vitro and in vivo. In this review various techniques used to evaluate insulin action are discussed and also some clinical conditions associated with insulin resistance.Keywords
