Abstract

Exercise training is one of the key interventions for preventing and
treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although the health-promoting effects
of exercise are largely ascribed to improvements in skeletal muscle
insulin sensitivity, new data published in Diabetes suggest ‘exercisetrained’
subcutaneous adipose tissue might also have an important role
in enhancing glucose homeostasis.
