High levels of dietary stearate promote adiposity and deteriorate hepatic insulin sensitivity.

Nocturnal FA oxidation rate tended to be lower in HFL fed animals compared to HFP fed animals, although this failed to reach statistical significance (p = 0.08).

In parallel, hepatic expression of the insulin receptor β (IR-β), which mediates cellular insulin action, tended to be decreased in livers from mice fed stearate rich HFL and HFPS, although this did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.11 and p = 0.13 in HFL and HFPS versus HFP, respectively) (figure 3B ).
