The possible role of stress induced hormonal disbalance in the patophysiology of insulin resistane in lean individuals

Insulin resistance (IR) is a common denominator of metabolic and hemodynamic disorders simultaneously present in one person and responsible for elevated risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular incidents. According to the latest research, IR is present in 25-45% of the general population. Therefore, the mechanism of its development is in the center of scientific and professional interest. Established or acquired factors, or combinations thereof, which disturb any step of the physiological insulin action mechanism: its binding to the cellular receptor, through the complex cascade of intracellular signaling pathways might cause IR.
