Exercise Metabolism in Nonobese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Following the Acute Restoration of Normoglycaemia

Table 3

Physiological and metabolic responses to submaximal cycling following infusion with insulin (INS) or saline (CON) in patients with T2D.

	O2 uptake (ml/kg/min)	RER	CHO ox (g/min)	Fat ox (g/min)	Heart rate (beats/min)	RPE (6–20)
CON	14.1 ± 1.1	0.86 ± 0.02	0.80 ± 0.11	0.17 ± 0.04	124 ± 6	11.6 ± 0.6
INS	14.1 ± 1.5	0.74 ± 0.07	0.74 ± 0.07	0.18 ± 0.03	118 ± 7	11.2 ± 0.9

Values represent and are displayed as mean ± SEM for 30 min of exercise. RER denotes respiratory exchange ratio; CHO ox denotes carbohydrate oxidation rate; fat ox denotes fat oxidation.
