Caloric Restriction, Exercise, and Glucoregulation in Humans

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes

In brief

Weight loss induced by caloric restriction alone (CR) and by exercise alone (EX) result in similar effects on blood glucose and insulin. The purpose of this study is to assess the hypothesis that weight loss through caloric restriction plus exercise will result in greater improvements on glucose tolerance and insulin action than similar weight losses through CR or EX alone.
