Effect of high cardiorespiratory fitness and high body fat on insulin resistance

Article Abstract:

The blood glucose and insulin response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in overweight, fit women (OF) are compared with those of lean, fit women (LF) matched for high cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Findings suggest that, compared with lean fit women, estimated insulin sensitivity is only slightly lower and plasma triacylglycerols are almost identical in overweight women with equally high CRF, despite a twofold elevation in body fat percentage.
