Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Whole Body Insulin Sensitivity (insulin suppression test)
Secondary outcome measures
Adipose tissue arteriole function (vasodilation measurement)
Adipose tissue inflammation measures (e.g., interleukin (IL)-6, and -8, adiponectin, TNF-alpha, nuclear factor-kappa b, gene and protein expression)
Changes in adipose tissue insulin signaling pathway activation (compare insulin signaling pathway activity (e.g., Akt and insulin receptor phosphorylation)
