ABSTRACT BERGGREN, JR, MW HULVER, GL DOHM, and JA HOUMARD. Weight Loss
and Exercise: Implications for Muscle Lipid Metabolism and Insulin Action. Med. Sci. Sports …

Exercise is a key component for the successful management of many obesity-related
metabolic complications, including insulin resistance. This review addresses the effect of …

Skeletal muscle constitutes 40% of body mass and takes up 80% of a glucose load.
Therefore, impaired glucose removal from the circulation, such as that which occurs in …

We previously reported an “athlete's paradox” in which endurance-trained athletes, who
possess a high oxidative capacity and enhanced insulin sensitivity, also have higher …

The alarming increase in obesity and associated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a
paramount public health concern in developing countries. Skeletal muscle insulin resistance …

High-fat diet consumption and lack of physical activity are important risk factors for metabolic
disorders such as insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. Insulin resistance is a …

With the increasing prevalence of obesity, research has focused on the molecular
mechanism (s) linking obesity and skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Metabolic alterations …

We examined the hypothesis that an excess accumulation of intramuscular lipid (IMCL) is
associated with insulin resistance and that this may be mediated by the oxidative capacity of …

The purpose of this review is to provide information about the role of exercise in the
prevention of skeletal muscle insulin resistance, that is, the inability of insulin to properly …

Mounting evidence indicates that elevated intramyocellular triacylglycerol concentrations
are associated with diminished insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle. This lipid accumulation …
