Skeletal muscle and adipose tissue has been identified as an endocrine organ and their metabolism exerts an impact on whole-body metabolism. Endocrine functions attributed to adipokines and myokines are involved in body weight regulation and insulin sensitivity. Obesity is associated with dys-regulation of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle metabolism and is accompanied with insulin resistance. Our study investigates the effect of insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) inhibi...
