How does exercise affect glucose transport in individuals with insulin resistance?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the mechanisms by which exercise influences glucose transport in people who have insulin resistance. This involves understanding how exercise interacts with insulin and glucose metabolism in the context of insulin resistance.
Answer
Exercise enhances glucose uptake via increased GLUT4 translocation, boosting muscle glucose transport in insulin resistance.
Exercise enhances glucose transport in people with insulin resistance by increasing muscle glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity, through insulin-independent mechanisms, primarily via increased GLUT4 translocation.
Answer for screen readers
Exercise enhances glucose transport in people with insulin resistance by increasing muscle glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity, through insulin-independent mechanisms, primarily via increased GLUT4 translocation.
More Information
During exercise, glucose transport into muscles is enhanced independently from insulin via mechanisms such as GLUT4 translocation, which is beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming exercise effects are solely through increased insulin action, whereas it also works independently of insulin.
