Epigenetics and the Origin of Muscle Insulin Resistance in Humans
Completed
Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 in Obese, Obesity
In brief
The investigators are trying to understand the role of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) methylation in insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and blood tissues. DNA methylation is a normal chemical process in the body that modifies DNA. By studying this, the investigators hope to better understand the causes of insulin resistance.
