Abstract
Lipid overload and adipocyte dysfunction are key to the development of insulin resistance and can be induced by a high fat diet (HFD). CD1d-restricted iNKT cells have been proposed as mediators between lipid overload and insulin resistance, but recent studies found decreased iNKT cell numbers and marginal effects of iNKT cell depletion on insulin resistance under HFD conditions.
