Exercise Training Improves Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and Coronary Artery Disease

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus suffer from accelerated coronary artery disease. We will assess the effects of exercise training on coronary endothelial function, vascular structure, and inflammation both in serum and skeletal muscle biopsies, as well as expression of diabetes candidate genes.
