Pilot Human Muscle oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Obesity is associated with metabolic inflexibility, the inability to switch from lipid to glucose oxidation during physiological conditions favoring excess glucose and insulin, which could contribute to the increased incidence of type 2 diabetes. Despite this knowledge, the role of skeletal muscle metabolites during these physiological conditions remain unclear and warrant further investigation. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if: 1) there are differences in skeletal muscle glycolysis and TCA metabolites and amino acids between lean and obese individuals in the fasted state, and 2) if these metabolites change after 50 min of glucose ingestion, and 3) if there are differences in these metabolites between lean and obese individuals after 50 min of glucose ingestion.
