Brief Summary

The study is designed to compare muscle energy capacity in men with obesity or diabetes as compared to athletes. This study will also enable researchers to determine whether MRS can replace muscle bio...

Detailed Description

Skeletal muscle mitochondrial defects are a sine qua non of insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obese and subjects with family history of T2DM (FH+). Exercise increase...
