31.   Other mice that got fat because of genetic mutations showed less insulin resistance than usual.

32.   And cholesterol changes linked to insulin resistance also can lead to clogged arteries and heart disease, Sherwin said.

33.   And virtually everyone who developed adult-onset diabetes started with insulin resistance, she said.

34.   Exercise combined with diet forms one of the best ways to beat insulin resistance, Sherwin and Howard said.

35.   In children of diabetics, insulin resistance is the best predictor of who will develop diabetes, the report said.

36.   Low-salt diets also increase insulin resistance and nerve activity, he said.

37.   Men are also likely to develop a higher rate of insulin resistance -- also associated with lower testosterone levels -- which may lead to diabetes.

38.   Nonetheless, the findings could point the way to further research in combatting insulin resistance.

39.   They found that mice that got obese through a high-fat diet were almost completely protected from insulin resistance.

40.   In addition, GIP-deficient mice did not suffer insulin resistance, which is one of the preconditions of diabetes -- a disease closely linked with diabetes.
