Humans With Obesity Response to Exercise

Overview

About this study

Fat tissue was once believed to be only important for storing energy, but we are now learning that fat tissue released a large number of molecules that can affect other tissues.  Muscles may be affected by fat that accumulates in the abdominal area and around the muscles themselves.  This project seeks to understand how fat tissue may influence important functions o muscles.
