Actual (reported)The investigators are trying to understand the role of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) methylation in insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and blood tissues. DNA methylation is a normal chemical process in the body that modifies DNA. By studying this, the investigators hope to better understand the causes of insulin resistance.

Actual (reported)DNA methylation of genes in insulin resistance
DNA methylation of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation, extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton proteins in insulin resistance, with an acute episode of exercise, and with eight weeks of training exercise.

This experiment will use the Infinium methylation assay to perform epigenome mapping and define patterns of DNA methylation in skeletal muscle and whole blood tissue of metabolically well-characterized lean healthy, obese nondiabetic, and type 2 diabetic volunteers. We will test the hypotheses that (1) There is an increased methylation of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation and altered methylation of promoters of genes coding for extracellular matrix and cytoskeletal proteins in insulin resistance, (2) The altered methylation patterns observed correspond to protein and mRNA expression changes, and (3) There are coordinated patterns of DNA methylation between the skeletal muscle and whole blood tissues in insulin resistance.
This experiment will test the hypotheses in lean healthy, obese non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic volunteers that 1. Increased methylation of the PGC-1α promoter predicts a decreased response of this gene to a single bout of exercise, and 2. Altered methylation of promoters of nuclear encoded mitochondrial genes predicts a decreased response of this gene to a single bout of exercise.
This experiment will test the hypothesis in lean healthy, obese non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic volunteers that 1. There is decreased methylation of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation, and the altered methylation corresponds to protein and mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) expression changes, 2. There is altered methylation of genes involved in inflammation and cytoskeletal structure.
Three groups of volunteers will be studied: 1) lean, healthy volunteers, 2)obese volunteers without type 2 diabetes, and 3) volunteers with type 2 diabetes.
