Additional evaluations may include transcriptional and proteomic changes in metabolic signaling pathways, glucose transport assays (including markers associated with GLUT4 in adipocytes or skeletal muscle), and lipid-related metrics such as intracellular lipid accumulation or gene expression associated with lipogenesis
