Skeletal muscle can store excess fat as subcellular lipid droplets (LDs). While originally viewed as uninteresting static balls of triacylglycerol, it is now clear that myocellular LDs play an active role in myocellular (patho) physiology. In this review we aim to discuss the role of LDs in muscle cell insulin sensitivity and identify parameters which appear to affect this relationship. Moreover, we discuss the application of novel tools permitting detailed examination of these parameters. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Recent Advances in Lipid Droplet Biology edited by Rosalind Coleman and Matthijs Hesselink.
