Viral Infection "Interferes" with Glucose Tolerance.

Published

Journal Article

In this issue of Immunity, Ε estan et al. (2018) show that viral-induced inflammation leads to insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, followed by compensatory hyperinsulinemia, which promotes the anti-viral effector response of CD8+ T cells. Interestingly, this leads to persistent glucose intolerance and the progression of type 2 diabetes in pre-diabetic animals.
