DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Obesity and type 2 diabetes are occurring at epidemic rates in the United States and worldwide. The global burden of diabetes is estimated to double over the next 25 years. Obese children are at risk for the development of insulin resistance, relative insulin deficiency and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The prevention of type 2 DM is hindered by the lack of a non-invasive predictive test, knowledge as to individual risk and effective preventative measures. There is increasing evidence that alterations in mitochondria contribute to the development of diabetes in humans. Therefore, it is important to explore mitochondrial dysfunction as a potential predictor of diabetes in children and a potential target for prevention. The aims of the proposed protocol are to determine whether an intensive exercise intervention can improve mitochondrial function in children identified as having mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance. The use of a non-invasive imaging technique will allow for a functional in vivo assessment of mitochondrial activity. We propose the investigation of an intensive exercise protocol designed to improve mitochondrial function in children who are insulin resistant and have documented mitochodrial dysfunction by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The study is designed to investigate the plasticity of abnormal mitochondrial function in high risk children. In summary, the proposed projects will investigate mitochondrial function as a non-invasive predictive marker for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus in children and attempt to modify mitochondrial function with an intensive exercise intervention. The study of mitochondrial dysfunction in children may both identify those at risk for disease and provide a molecular therapeutic target for prevention and treatment.

描述（由申请人提供）： 肥胖和2型糖尿病在美国和世界范围内正以流行病的速度发生。据估计，全球糖尿病负担在未来25年将翻一番。肥胖儿童有发生胰岛素抵抗、相对胰岛素缺乏和2型糖尿病的风险。2型糖尿病的预防受到缺乏非侵入性预测测试，个人风险知识和有效预防措施的阻碍。越来越多的证据表明，线粒体的改变有助于人类糖尿病的发展。因此，重要的是探索线粒体功能障碍作为儿童糖尿病的潜在预测因子和潜在的预防目标。拟议方案的目的是确定强化运动干预是否可以改善被确定为具有线粒体功能障碍和胰岛素抵抗的儿童的线粒体功能。使用非侵入性成像技术将允许线粒体活性的功能性体内评估。我们提出了一个密集的运动方案，旨在改善线粒体功能的儿童谁是胰岛素抵抗和记录线粒体功能障碍的磁共振波谱的调查。本研究旨在探讨高危儿童线粒体功能异常的可塑性。总之，拟议的项目将研究线粒体功能作为儿童胰岛素抵抗和2型糖尿病发展的非侵入性预测标志物，并试图通过强化运动干预来改变线粒体功能。对儿童线粒体功能障碍的研究既可以识别疾病的风险，也可以为预防和治疗提供分子治疗靶点。
