First I've seen this thread.

Concerning the insulin resistance... the study commented that very high consumption in rats could lead to insulin resistance but "within the normal physiological concentration range of leucine and insulin" it increased protein synthesis and insulin sensitivity.

My take,
When studies reference very high consumption in rats, it normally means above and beyond a dosage that any rational human being could ever consume. I wouldn't worry about that whatsoever.
