Abstract excerpt
Metabolic flexibility of skeletal muscle, that is, the preference for fat oxidation (FOx) during fasting and for carbohydrate oxidation in response to insulin, is decreased during insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the capacity of myotubes to oxidize fat in vitro reflects the donor's metabolic characteristics. Insulin sensitivity (IS) and metabolic flexibility of 16 healthy,...
