Modulating Physiologic Effects Of Phospholipid Metabolism In Obesity And Diabetes; AIM 4: Composition and Function of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum in Persons With the Metabolic Syndrome
In Brief
An observational study evaluating muscle biopsy for Metabolic Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators previous research has suggested that lipid (fatty) composition in the muscle cells of mice plays a key role in their insulin sensitivity. The purpose of this study is to determine whether these specific fat signatures translate to humans by comparing the muscle of healthy patients to those with pre-diabetes, or "the metabolic syndrome".
