| Scholarships or student grants program description |
This studentship will evaluate how physical activity and exercise effects liver fat and glucose control in people with fatty liver disease and insulin resistance.
The accumulation of fat inside of the liver is closely related to glucose control and lifestyle. Recent studies have shown that 100% of people with Type 2 diabetes have fat in their liver. Furthermore, the amount of liver fat is inversely related to physical activity, with the less physically active people having higher levels of liver fat. The aim of this studentship pathway is to report on the effects of exercise upon direct measures of liver fat and its mediators (insulin sensitivity) in people with clinically diagnosed high levels of liver fat.
This project will start in October 2009
