Metabolic Characteristics of Overweight Postmenopausal Women First-Degree Relatives of Type 2 Diabetes patients (FDR): How are they different from non-FDR and how do they respond to exercise training?
FY 2011-12
Summary
The medical and scientific communities agree that more resources should be placed in prevention of type 2 diabetes. In individuals with a family history, the risk is dramatically high but the reasons remain to be elucidated. We thus intend to compare individuals with a family history to others without for various metabolic alterations that are susceptible to increase their risk of type 2 diabetes. Afterwards, we also plan to submit these individuals to an exercise program that has been shown effective in healthy or diabetic individuals, and evaluate its potential to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in these individuals, who are known to be at high risk. Our study will help understand how type 2 diabetes develops and establish pertinent exercise recommendations. Overall, the study will significantly enhance our capability of decreasing the risk of T2D in the population.
