Minimal postprandial leg flow increase implies extraction drives glucose uptake; leaves open insulin's hemodynamic role in muscle metabolism.
Does mixed meal consumption significantly increase leg blood flow to contribute to leg glucose uptake in lean, healthy adults?
After a mixed meal, leg blood flow does not increase enough to be a major contributor to skeletal muscle glucose uptake, raising questions about the physiological importance of insulin's hemodynamic effects.
Mijares et al. (1995) studied this question.
