  • Intramuscular Lipid Metabolism, Insulin Action and Obesity 

    Consitt, Leslie A.; Bell, Jill A.; Houmard, Joseph A. (East Carolina University, 2009-01)
    With the increasing prevalence of obesity, research has focused on the molecular mechanism(s) linking obesity and skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Metabolic alterations within muscle, such as changes in the cellular ...

  • Intramuscular lipid oxidation and obesity 

    Houmard, Joseph A. (East Carolina University, 2008-04)
    There is an accumulating amount of evidence indicating that lipid oxidation is depressed in the skeletal muscle of obese individuals. Decrements in fatty acid oxidation (FAO) have been reported with obesity in models ranging ...
