Lipid mixtures containing a very high proportion of saturated fatty acids only modestly impair insulin signaling in cultured muscle cells.

However, the insulin resistant phenotype is often found to be retained in primary skeletal muscle cells derived from obese humans [ 26 ], which might help explain why the reduction in insulin signaling with our lipid incubations did not reach statistical significance in the primary muscle cells from our obese subjects.
