Clinically relevant elevation of plasma FFA concentrations induces pan-arterial insulin resistance, the vascular insulin resistance outcomes are interconnected, and insulin-mediated muscle microvascular perfusion associates with cardiovascular disease predictors. Our data provide biologic plausibility whereby a causative relationship between FFAs and cardiovascular disease could exist, and suggest that further attention to interventions which block FFA-mediated vascular insulin resistance may be warranted.
