Abstract: The prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases is increasing all over the world. Insulin resistance has been proposed as one major factor of the Metabolic syndrome (MetS) that ultimately leads to type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The relationship between iron status and MetS has been scarcely described. This mini-review presents on one hand the existing knowledge on the effects of excess body iron (iron overload) on insulin resistance and on the other the link between hyperglycemia and alterations in iron metabolism.
