Findings in diabetic rats should not change practice; extends metabolic mechanisms but leaves open human translation.
Does exercise training improve myocardial glucose utilization and cardiac function in a rat model of diabetes?
Exercise training restores myocardial glucose metabolism and cardiac function in a diabetic rat model, providing a mechanistic basis for the benefits of exercise in diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Broderick et al. (2004) studied this question.
