“…Excess body weight has been recognized as a risk factor for T2DM in which approximately 90% of affected patients are overweight or obese [ 6 , 7 ]. Unhealthy dietary intake, particularly a high-fat (HF) diet, plays a critical role to cause imbalance of glucose and lipid metabolism, which gradually impair the function of major metabolic organs leading to dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, progressive insulin resistance, late pancreatic-cell failure, and T2DM [ 7 , 8 ]. The overwhelming role of HF diet in the formation of metabolic disorders, such as systemic insulin resistance and T2DM, is demonstrated by a variety of experiments performed on humans, rodents, and cell culture models [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”
