Study 1: Insulin resistance increases circulating malondialdehyde-modified LDL and impairs endothelial function in healthy young men. "Endothelial dysfunction is regarded as an early feature of atherosclerosis. Both LDL oxidation and insulin resistance play important roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
