Abstract
Skeletal muscle insulin resistance entails dysregulation of both glucose and fatty acid metabolism. This study examined whether a combined intervention of physical activity and weight loss influences fasting rates of fat oxidation and insulin-stimulated glucose disposal. Obese (BMI >30 kg/m(2)) volunteers (9 men and 16 women) without diabetes, aged 39 +/- 4 years, completed 16 weeks of moderate-intensity physical activity combined with caloric...
