Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| * Whole-body Iinsulin sensitivity: by means of hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp * Muscle microcirculation: Insulin-mediated capillary recruitment by means of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), * Needle skeletal muscle and adipose tissue biopsies to assess: protein and gene expression of insulin signalling proteins, lipid content and PVAT morphology muscle biopsy * Markers of inflammation: CRP, LPS serum, cytokines (IL1, IL 6, IL-8 and TNF-*) * Metabolism: Resting energy expenditure (resting metabolic rate) and % oxidation of macronutrients by means of indirect calorimetry (Quark®) (REE), Bio Impedance Analysis (BIA) * 24 hour urine samples * Metabolic and humoral biomarkers (plasma glucose, HbA1c, FFA; catecholamines) * Body anthropometrics (weight, height, BMI, waist and hip circumferences, fat %) * Physical activity energy expenditure * Questionnaires: RPE-scale, PACE-score | — |
