Recent studies have shown that patterns of lipid partitioning are a major determinant of the metabolic profile and not just obesity per se. The underlying mechanisms and clinical relevance of lipid deposition in the visceral compartment and in insulinsensitive tissues are described. Increased intramyocellular lipid deposition impairs the insulin signal
