Scientists uncover why weight lifting fights diabetes risk
NCT ID NCT04158375
Summary
This study aimed to understand exactly how strength training improves the body's ability to use insulin and builds muscle in older adults with insulin resistance, a condition linked to type 2 diabetes. Researchers compared 58 adults, some doing supervised weight training for three months and others remaining sedentary, taking muscle samples to look for biological changes. The goal was to identify the key genes and processes involved, which could help guide future treatments.
