Role of Tlr4 on Insulin Resistance in Humans

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among the U.S. population. Therefore, new and better ways to prevent and treat T2DM are urgently needed. Insulin resistance is one of the earliest and most significant abnormalities in the pathogenesis of T2DM. However, the molecular basis for the insulin resistance of T2DM is not fully understood. Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 is a cell surface receptor that generates immune responses by activating a cascade of pro-inflammatory events.
