Does exercise increase skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity via nitric oxide?

几乎四分之一的澳大利亚成年人患有糖尿病或葡萄糖代谢受损。运动的一个主要好处是它增加了肌肉对胰岛素的敏感性，在运动完成后的几个小时内。我们并不完全了解运动增加肌肉胰岛素敏感性的机制。如果我们发现运动过程中一氧化氮的产生是如何参与的，那么模拟这些运动效应的药物可能会使糖尿病患者受益。

Almost one in four Australian adults have either diabetes or impaired glucose metabolism. A major benefit of exercise is that it increases the sensitivity of muscle to insulin for many hours after the exercise is completed. We don't fully understand the mechanisms that exercise increases muscle insulin sensitivity. If we discover how nitric oxide production during exercise is involved, drugs that mimic these exercise effects may be designed to benefit those with diabetes.
