Effect of Short-Term Exercise Training on ATP Synthesis in Relatives of Type 2 Diabetic Humans

First degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) suffer an increased risk of developing this disease themselves, starting with impaired insulin sensitivity. This risk can be minimized by lifestyle interventions such as regular exercise training. Until this day, little is known about the short-term effects of exercise training on insulin sensitivity and the lipid content of the liver and skeletal muscle.
