Insulin Action: Role of Skeletal Muscle and Insulin-Mediated Blood Flow

This study has been completed.

Sponsored by: Department of Veterans Affairs
Information provided by: Department of Veterans Affairs
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00018304
  Purpose

The overall objective of this proposal is to examine the contribution of changes in total body fat, enhancement in insulin-mediated vasodilatation and enhancement in endothelium-derived nitric oxide production to the improvements in metabolic insulin action. In addition, the study will track whether these improvements are related to changes in blood pressure.
