Special Issue on Muscle Function and Sarcopenia: Glucose and Insulin Measurements From the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test and Relationship to Muscle Mass

摘要

Background.Diabetes is associated with decreased muscle mass. The effect of higher levels of glucose and insulin on muscle mass has not been studied in individuals without diabetes. We sought to determine the relationship of insulin and glucose measurements from the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with muscle mass in persons without diabetes.
