Effect of Insulin Deprivation on Muscle Mitochondrial ATP Production and Gene Transcript Levels in Type 1 Diabetic Subjects
5 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Muscle mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in many insulin-resistant states, such as type 2 diabetes, prompting a hypothesis that mitochondrial dysfunction may cause insulin resistance. We determined the impact of insulin deficiency on muscle mitochondrial ATP production by temporarily depriving type 1 diabetic patients of insulin treatment. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We withdrew insulin for 8.6 +/- 0.6...
