Metabolic adaptation
No significant correlations were found between glucose disposal rate (GDR) and plasma IL-6 or skeletal muscle IL-6 mRNA in any group.
GDR is not influenced by IL-6 levels, suggesting other factors may be more relevant for insulin sensitivity.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
No significant correlations were found between GDR and plasma IL-6 or skeletal muscle IL-6 mRNA in any group.
