intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) content and IR, during muscle-disuse IR develops before IMCL
accumulation, suggesting that IMCL are not related to disuse-induced IR. However, recent
studies show that it is not total IMCL content, but IMCL size and location that are related to
IR. Changes in these IMCL parameters may occur prior to increases in IMCL content, thus
contributing to disuse-induced IR. Omega-3 fatty acids may mitigate the effects of disuse on …
