Strength Training Increases Insulin-Mediated Glucose Uptake, GLUT4 Content, and Insulin Signaling in Skeletal Muscle in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: It is found that strength training for 30 min three times per week increases insulin action in skeletal muscle in both groups, and the adaptation is attributable to local contraction-mediated mechanisms involving key proteins in the insulin signaling cascade.

GLUT4 Is Reduced in Slow Muscle Fibers of Type 2 Diabetic Patients: Is Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetes a Slow, Type 1 Fiber Disease?

TL;DR: A reduction in the fraction of slow-twitch fibers, combined with a reduction in GLUT4 expression in slow fibers, may reduce the insulin-sensitiveGLUT4 pool in type 2 diabetes and thus contribute to skeletal muscle insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced lipid oxidation in skeletal muscle from type 2 diabetic subjects may be of genetic origin: evidence from cultured myotubes.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the reduced lipid oxidation in diabetic skeletal muscle in vivo may be of genetic origin; it also appears that TAG metabolism is not primarily affected in diabetic muscles under basal physiological conditions.
