Skeletal muscle triglycerides (IMTG) were elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls and trained athletes.
Increased IMTG levels in type 2 diabetes may indicate altered lipid metabolism that practitioners should consider.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
IMTG was elevated in TYPE 2 compared to OLD, YOUNG and TRAINED (p < 0.05).
Why this rating
Based on the cross-sectional study design involving multiple groups.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
