Insulin resistance is closely related to developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Visceral fat accumulation is associated with insulin resistance, which affects the free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism. We investigated the interactions among visceral fat accumulation, FFA metabolism and insulin resistance in 20 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, including 11 obese and 9 non-obese subjects. Body fat distribution was estimated by measuring the areas of both subcutaneous and visceral fat mass on abdominal computed tomography at the umbilical level. Glucose infusion rate (GIR) and plasma FFA responses to insulin were determined as an index of insulin resistance and anti-lipolytic action, respectively, in a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp study. There was an inverse correlation between GIR and insulin-induced decrease in plasma FFA in all diabetic patients (r=-0.652, P
