Abstract excerpt
Compared with the lean (Fa/-) genotype, obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats have a relative deficiency of muscle phospholipid arachidonate, and skeletal muscle arachidonate in humans is positively correlated with insulin sensitivity. To assess the hypothesis that the positive effects of exercise training on insulin sensitivity are mediated by increased muscle arachidonate, we randomized 20 lean and 20 obese weanling male...
