Prevention of skeletal muscle and myocardial free-fatty acid induced microvascular dysfunction in skeletal muscle and myocardium by exercise

We hypothesize that the amount of physical activity correlates with insulin-induced microvascular recruitment during free-fatty acid infusion in skeletal muscle as well as in the heart. In this study we aim to test this hypothesis.
