Abstract
Insulin resistance is a metabolic disorder that precedes type 2 diabetes, where cells begin to show a state of non-responsiveness to the hormone insulin. Such physiological conditions naturally cause high blood glucose levels, which may be caused by obesity. Adipose tissue has the ability to secrete the hormone Apelin, which is a peptide hormone. Apelin act to target fat and glucose metabolism pathways, and therefore can be used as a treatment in cases of insulin resistance induced by obesity.
