Preadipocyte and adipocyte formation is negatively associated with insulin sensitivity.
This finding suggests that higher adipocyte formation may be detrimental to insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for metabolic health.

Preadipocyte and adipocyte formation in the scABD (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.02, respectively) and scFEM (P = 0.0001 and P = 0.003, respectively) was negatively associated with insulin sensitivity.
