How Long-Term Physical Activity May Reduce Insulin Resistance
/Insulin resistance is a core finding in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and physical activity has the potential of improving insulin resistance. In a newly published review, Sindre Lee Ødegaard and co-workers describe a model of potential mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of physical activity on insulin resistance. They briefly summarize an integrated physiological perspective on insulin resistance and describe the effects of long-term PA on signaling molecules involved in cellular responses.
