    • Interaction between plasma fetuin‐A and free fatty acids predicts changes in insulin sensitivity in response to long‐term exercise 

      Lee, Sindre; Norheim, Frode; Gulseth, Hanne L.; Langleite, Torgrim M.; Kolnes, Kristoffer J.; Tangen, Daniel S.; Stadheim, Hans Kristian; Gilfillan, Gregor D.; Holen, Torgeir; Birkeland, Kåre I,; Jensen, Jørgen; Drevon, Christian A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-03)
      The hepatokine fetuin‐A can together with free fatty acids (FFAs) enhance adipose tissue (AT) inflammation and insulin resistance via toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4). Although some of the health benefits of exercise can be ...
