Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes is related to abnormalities in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) in skeletal muscle. We tested the hypothesis that mitochondrial oxidative metabolism is impaired in muscle of patients with inherited insulin resistance and defective insulin signalling. METHODS: Skeletal muscle biopsies obtained from carriers (n = 6) of a mutation in...
