Muscle microvascular dysfunction in central obesity is related to muscle insulin insensitivity but Is not reversed by high-dose statin treatment

Objective: to test the hypotheses that decreased insulin-mediated glucose disposal in muscle is associated with a reduced muscle microvascular exchange capacity (Kf) and that 6 months of high-dose statin therapy would improve microvascular function in people with central obesity. Research design and...
