These include elevations in non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) mobilization (typically greater in women) and the secretion
of counter-regulatory hormones, which act to oppose insulin action and impair
glucose disposal.57 Previous works have noted similar deteriorations in

oral glucose tolerance and tissue insulin sensitivity (measured using a hyperinsulinemic - euglycemic clamp) after four weeks in healthy rats.
Outside
