If you have more lean muscle tissue, you have less risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
Findings outlined by US and Chinese scientists provide further insights into how muscles use glucose in a feedback loop as well as its role in whole-body glucose balance.
"We found that skeletal muscle cells have machinery to directly sense glucose — in a certain sense it's like the muscles can taste sugar, too," said senior study author Dr Jiandie Lin, a faculty member at University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute commenting on his study published in Molecular Cell.
"The majority of cases of type 2 diabetes could be prevented by the adoption of a healthier lifestyle,'' reported researchers led by Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts.
