Summary
The investigators propose that post-exercise milk protein feeding will enhance the
mitochondrial protein synthesis (biogenesis) response to an exercise-training program. In
addition, the investigators propose that this stimulatory effect of protein feeding will
overcome the potential blunting effect of metformin on exercise responses. The investigators
will investigate these outcomes over a 12-week exercise-training program in older adults with
pre-diabetes with or without metformin treatment.
