Obesity is a leading risk factor for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D), creating a global health crisis. Insulin resistance, characterized by the inability of cells to respond to insulin effectively, is at the core of both obesit...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH | Pp. 96-101
Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are increasingly prevalent global health issues, often coexisting as part of a metabolic syndrome characterized by insulin resistance and chronic inflammation. Recent advances in nanotechnology offer innovative solutions to a...
