Abstract

This chapter will discuss the role of mitochondria in muscle, particularly the effect of acute and chronic exercise. The focus will be on human studies. A general overview of mitochondrial structure and function will be followed by a discussion of the diverse techniques used to measure mitochondrial function. We will then discuss the role of acute and chronic effects of exercise in patients with insulin resistance/type 2 DM (T2DM) on skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and identify critical knowledge gaps for future investigation.
