PS7 - 38. Effects of acute endurance exercise on gene expression in skeletal muscle

  • Published:
Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Diabetologie Aims and scope

Abstract

Exercise is known to be a powerful way to prevent and treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Skeletal muscle is the predominant organ impacted by exercise but many of the metabolic changes induced by exercise seem to be a result of changes in the liver. An important question is how exercise– or better skeletal muscle contraction – can alter hepatic function and insulin action. It is hypothesized that myokines play an important role in the cross-talk between skeletal muscle and liver.
