Improved Insulin Sensitivity

Improved insulin sensitivity refers to an increased responsiveness of the body's cells to the hormone insulin, facilitating glucose uptake and utilization. It is a therapeutic goal for preventing or managing metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes. Modulation is achieved through lifestyle changes (exercise, diet, weight loss) and pharmacological interventions that enhance insulin signaling or reduce insulin resistance.
