Abstract Background Insulin resistance can occur in all metabolic organs including the liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscles. Circulating soluble epidermal growth factor receptor (soluble EGFR) and adipsin levels are altered in obese diabetic mice and are possibly correlated with insulin resis...
