Association of Obesity-Mediated Insulin Resistance and Hypothalamic Volumes: Possible Sex Differences
Figure 4
Interaction between sex and insulin resistance on hypothalamic volume. “Lean Control” ( females and 18 males), represented by closed circles, are lean adolescents without evidence of tissue insulin resistance. “IR/T2DM” ( females and 16 males), represented by open circles, are obese adolescents with either marked insulin-resistance but not diabetes and/or obese adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
