Insulin resistance, which is found in 85-95% of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients, results from three factors: genetic background (which has been widely investigated), nutritional status (mostly obesity and fat distribution) and exercise. Upper body obesity, which can be found in 85% of these subjects, can increase muscular insulin resistance through several mechanisms, the best known being a free fatty acid-induced decrease in intracellular free CoA/acylCoA that inhibits the stimulatory effect of insulin on glycolysis, glucose transport across cell membrane, and glycogen storage. However, muscle insulin resistance in NIDDM exists before adiposity and is likely to induce it. Actually, muscles of subjects at risk for NIDDM exhibit a very early defect in both glycogen storage ability and free fatty acid oxidation capacity that can impair fuel utilization and increase fat storage. Regular exercise induces muscular metabolic changes which can compensate for those diabetogenic defects and thus prove useful in the management of NIDDM. Moreover, exercise has been shown to prevent subjects at risk for NIDDM from developing overt diabetes.
