Abstract excerpt
Weight loss through exercise and diet reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes, but the genetic regulation of gene expression and splicing in response to weight loss remains unclear in humans. We collected clinical data and skeletal muscle biopsies from 54 overweight/obese Asian individuals before and after a 16-week lifestyle intervention, which resulted in an average of ∼10% weight loss, accompanied by an ∼30%...
