Abstract

Insulin resistance (IR) is defined as a pathological state that is characterized by a decrease in the sensitivity of insulin in the tissues, on the other hand, dyslipidemia is a lipid level alteration that could develop from insulin resistance. This bibliographic review describes the main scientific contributions that demonstrate whether insulin resistance is one of the essential pathological conditions for developing some of the diseases that constitute serious public health problems, such as dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and metabolic syndrome (MS).
