insulin
(blank) affects the way adipocytes function thus affecting the deposition of TAGs and Cholesterols.
insulin resistance
More (bank) in the blood increases insulin secretion which leads to insulin resistance
sugar
What does this:
poor environment for lipid synthesis, poor enivironment for epithelium, increased inflammation
Insulin
too much insulin will reduce the activity of (Blank)
too much TAGS will reduce the synthesis of (blank)
