Effects of training and detraining on dose-response relationship between glucose and insulin secretion

Abstract

regular physical activity causes an adaptive decrease in glucose-mediated beta-cell secretion in humans. The training-induced decrease in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is accurately matched to increased insulin action, keeping glucose disposal constant at any given plasma glucose concentration. Finally, training increases basal metabolic rate but does not influence glucose-induced thermogenesis or clearance of endogenous insulin.
