Aging and Cellular Mechanism for Insulin Action After Exercise Training

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus

In brief

This study will determine whether the metabolic and cellular mechanisms contributing to improved insulin action after aerobic or resistive exercise are different in older, obese, insulin resistant veterans. The hypothesis is that regular exercise, whether aerobic or resistive, will improve whole body insulin action, but the nature and magnitude of changes in skeletal muscle will differ between the two types of exercise.
