Abstract

Acylcarnitines have been implicated in diet-induced insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Here acylcarnitines correlate with fasting glucose levels and HbA1c. We investigated plasma acylcarnitines in relation to energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity in obese subjects before and after weight loss.
