Outline of Final Research Achievements

Intramuscular fat has been reported as a factor causing insulin resistance (IR) in obesity. Skeletal muscle attenuation (CT value) determined by computed tomography is associated with skeletal muscle fat content. This study attempted to calculate HOMA-R, an indicator of IR from the amount of skeletal muscle CT values. In addition, we examined the relationship between insulin resistance, exercise habits, and maximum oxygen uptake. The subjects were 45 healthy athletes and 46 non-athletes at our university. Skeletal muscle CT values were measured at the following 5 points. A significant relationship was observed between VO2max and both HOMA-R and VFA, but was no significant relationship between skeletal muscle CT value and either HOMA-R or VFA. However, individuals engaged in regular endurance exercise training had higher muscular fat despite being markedly insulin sensitive. Higher muscular fat of long distance runner is considered that does not cause IR.
