Abstract: Insulin resistance (IR) is an important link between obesity and post obesity complications varying from diabetes mellitus to neurological insults such as cognitive dysfunction and Alzheimer’s disease. Currently available high calorific diet induced preclinical models mimic clinical pathologies of various metabolic disorders but they are highly time consuming. Zymosan A, a well-known inflammagen has recently been used to induce reversible IR conditions in rodent models.
