Increased accumulation of fat into the muscles is associated with what is called
insulin-resistant state, which is a pre-diabetic state. The purpose of this research is to
find out how fat circulating in the blood following fat consumption is taken up by the
muscles in healthy people as well as people that are insulin-resistant. The investigators are
specifically interested in how a hormone called insulin is involved in this process. Findings
from this research will contribute to our understanding of why insulin-resistant people have
increased accumulation of fat in their muscles, and ultimately help to design appropriate
interventions to prevent type 2 Diabetes.
