According to recent research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, "Insulin resistance in obese subjects results in the impaired disposal of glucose by skeletal muscle. The current study examined the effects of insulin and/or exercise on glucose transport and phosphorylation in skeletal muscle and the influence of obesity on these processes."
"Seven obese and 12 lean men underwent positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose in resting and isometrically...
