Summary

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a role in obesity-induced insulin resistance and likely impact the development of cardiovascular disease. However, little is known on how EVs affect vascular insulin action in people. The purpose of this study is to understand how EVs play a role in type 2 diabetes related cardiovascular disease. This research will also study if exercise can change how EVs impact blood flow and metabolic health. This study will contribute to designing precision medicine to treat/prevent cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes.

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

Supervised treadmill exercise at 85% VO2max, 3x/wk for 16 weeks. Exercise duration will be adjusted based on individual VO2-heart rate (HR) relationship so that \~400 kcals will be expended during each training session.
