Of course it’s possible for a cell to become overloaded with energy from glucose. But is also possible for the cell to become overloaded with energy from fat. Both result in the cell deciding to “ingnore” insulin for its own good. Another possibility is the cell’s inability to process whatever energy substrate it has available (glucose, fat or protein) efficiently. Cells can just as easily be overloaded with energy when the mitochondria (specifically Krebs Cycle and ETC) are not functioning optimally. Many things can cause suboptimal mitochondrial function and elevated free fatty acids is one of them.[/QUOTE]Would the cell have arrived at said energy overload without insulin forcing it?
