"As the principal tissue for insulin-stimulated glucose disposal, skeletal muscle is a primary driver of whole-body glycemic control. Skeletal muscle also uniquely responds to muscle contraction or exercise with increased sensitivity to subsequent insulin stimulation. Insulin’s dominating control of glucose metabolism is orchestrated by complex and highly regulated signaling cascades that elicit diverse and unique effects on skeletal muscle."

    It sucks that we evolved in an environment where calories were hard to come by and our bodies are set up to keep us from starving tomorrow. And now we live in a world where food is ubiquitous and engineered to be hyper-palatable.
