Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Lean cohort: 1. Men and women >18 years of age 2. Normal body weight 18.5 = BMI =25 kg/m² 3. T2D patients can be on treatment with oral glucose-lowering therapies, and if they are, they must have been on these treatments for at least 12 weeks prior to screening 4. 6.5 = HBA1c = 10% at screening 5. Agreement to maintain prior diet and exercise habits for the duration of the study Overweight cohort: 1. Men and women >18 years of age 2. Increased body weight BMI >27 kg/m² 3. T2D patients can be on treatment with oral glucose-lowering therapies, and if they are, they must have been on these treatments for at least 12 weeks prior to screening 4. 6.5 = HBA1c = 10% at screening 5. Agreement to maintain prior diet and exercise habits for the duration of the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Myocardial perfusion measured by MRI at baseline and 16-weeks.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
At baseline and 16-weeks: 1. Myocardial energetics (PCr/ATP ratio), measure by MRI spectroscopy. 2. Myocardial steatosis (myocardial triglyceride content), measured by MRI spectroscopy 3. Myocardial function, measured by MRI 4. Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) measured by blood test 5. Physical performance, measure by 6 minute walk test 6. Hepatic triglyceride content, measured by blood test 7. Peripheral endothelial function, measure by the EndoPAT machine
