The prevailing scientific view situates insulin resistance as a multifactorial condition initiated by molecular disruptions in insulin signaling pathways, primarily driven by obesity-induced inflammation, lipid toxicity, and lifestyle factors. This paradigm emphasizes targeted metabolic and pharmacological interventions to restore insulin sensitivity and prevent progression to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Supporting arguments
- Molecular studies show inflammation impairs insulin receptor signaling.
- Lipid accumulation in muscle and liver cells disrupts glucose metabolism.
- Lifestyle modifications improve insulin sensitivity in clinical trials.
