Decreased mitochondrial BCAA catabolism was associated with insulin resistance (correlation of “BCAA catabolism” with fS-insulin r = −0.62, p = 0.001, M-value r = 0.52, p = 0.001, and S-adiponectin r = 0.49, p = 0.011, Figure 2) and low-grade inflammation (high-sensitivity CRP r = −0.41, p = 0.005). Here, ADIPOQ is linked to Insulin resistance.
