Does short-term exercise improve beta-cell function and insulin resistance in older people with impaired glucose tolerance?
Short-term exercise not only improved insulin resistance but also significantly enhanced beta-cell function in older people with IGT. These effects of short-term exercise on beta-cell function cannot be explained by changes in body weight or circulating levels of lipids, leptin, adiponectin, or catecholamines.
This study demonstrated that the number of positive sextant biopsies contributes to the prediction of margin status at radical prostatectomy.
