Refers to Stanford, K. I. et al. A novel role for subcutaneous adipose tissue in exercise-induced improvements in glucose homeostasis. Diabetes doi:10.2337/db14–0704Exercise training is one of the key interventions for preventing and treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although the health-promoting effects of exercise are largely ascribed to improvements in skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, new data published in Diabetes suggest ‘exercise-trained’ subcutaneous adipose tissue might also have an important role in enhancing glucose homeostasis.
