Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

STUDY OBJECTIVES/ENDPOINTS

1. The primary endpoint of the study is the maximal capacity for mitochondrial ATP synthesis measured using 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).
2. The principal secondary endpoint is the relationship between exercise-induced changes in mitochondrial function in vivo and exercise mimetic-induced changes in mitochondrial function in vitro.
3. The principal tertiary endpoint is the relationship between the basal promoter methylation status of key genes involved in fuel metabolism and known to be activated by exercise in skeletal muscle tissue and cells and the exercise-induced response in mitochondrial function.

As exercise has an array of metabolic effects, and we are well positioned with our cutting-edge methodologies here at the Translational Research Institute (TRI), we will also measure whole body insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, substrate oxidation and energy expenditure in the whole room calorimeter/metabolic chamber and intramyocellular lipid content.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age 30 to 65 years.
* Male and Female
* Type 2 diabetes determined by self-report or by a fasting glucose \> 126mg/dl
* POCT HbA1c result is 5.7-8.8% or for those on anti-diabetic medications, POCT HbA1c \< 8.9% (no lower limit defined to account for those who illustrate tight glycemic control due to anti-diabetic medications).
* HbA1c between 6.0% and 8.5% or for those on anti-diabetic medications, HbA1c ≤ 8.5% (no lower limit defined to account for those who illustrate tight glycemic control due to anti-diabetic medications). If a participant misses the screening HbA1c by a small margin (HbA1c ± 0.1%), the HbA1c can be repeated once.
* Not involved in regular exercise program
* Willing to exercise every day for the study period
* If applicable, those currently taking anti-diabetic medication are taking metformin, a sulfonylurea, DPP IV inhibitor, alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, a meglitinide, colesevelam, cycloset or a SGLT2 inhibitor. Those taking 2 of these medications may proceed.
* If applicable, willing to cease anti-diabetic medication use for the duration of the intervention.
* BMI ≥ 22 kg/m2

* Age 18 to 50 years
* Male and Female
* Engaged in a minimum of 4 cumulative hours of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic exercise, over a minimum of 3 days per week.
* BMI between 18 and 29.9 kg/m2
* VO2max \> 45 ml/min/kg BW

* Age 30 to 65 years
* Male and Female
* Not involved in a regular exercise program
* Willing to exercise every day for the study period
* BMI ≥ 22 kg/m2

* Use of drugs known to affect energy metabolism or body weight: including, but not limited to: orlistat, sibutramine, ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, corticosterone, etc (A)
* Current treatment with blood thinners or anti-platelet medications that cannot be safely stopped for testing procedures. (A)
