Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall aim of this pilot study is to investigate the effects of exercise training on skeletal muscle and adipose tissue insulin resistance in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

All Participants

Group Type OTHER

Maximal ATP Production (ATPmax)

Intervention Type OTHER

ATPmax will be measured in order to determine in vivo mitochondrial capacity. The magnetic resonance scans to measure mitochondrial energetics will also be performed.

Exercise Testing (VO2max)

Intervention Type OTHER

Aerobic fitness level will be assessed while participant pedals on a stationary bicycle/walk on a treadmill. The volume of oxygen intake and carbon dioxide (CO2) production will be measured.

Muscle Biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Sample muscle cells from the left leg Vastus Lateralis (thigh) muscle.

Adipose Tissue Biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Sample fat tissue from the abdomen.

Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp

Intervention Type OTHER

Measurement of insulin sensitivity.

PET imaging

Intervention Type OTHER

After an overnight fast, an intravenous catheter will be placed in each arm (one with arterial line for PET infusion, and the other for infusion of insulin, glucose, and 6,6 D2 glucose tracer. FDG-glucose will be injected followed by 90-minute PET scanning of the thigh.
