Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of an 8-week aerobic training program upon fat oxidation in vivo and markers of skeletal muscle mitochondrial content and oxidative capacity in sedentary obese subjects with and without type 2 diabetes. We will also investigate if mitochondrial content in muscle predicts success of weight loss. The specific aims are: * To compare systemic fat oxidation rates; * To measure mitochondrial content in muscle before and after aerobic training; * To determine if decreased mitochondrial content is also associated with decreased mitochondrial oxidative capacity; * To measure non-plasma fatty acid oxidation in vivo during submaximal exercise conditions both prior and after aerobic training; * To determine whether increases in fat oxidation due to physical activity predict weight loss success when a reduced calorie diet is added to a physical activity program.
