Exercise-induced alterations in muscle lipid metabolism improve insulin sensitivity.
Exercise is a key component for the successful management of many obesity-related metabolic complications, including insulin resistance. This review addresses the effect of chronic and acute endurance exercise on insulin action in obesity and the role of exercise-induced alterations in fatty acid partitioning within the muscle cell on insulin sensitivity.
