Insulin Resistance and Substrate Metabolism After Acute Erythropoietin (EPO) Administration
RandomizedCrossoverDouble-blindBasic science
Summary
Recently EPO receptors have been found in human muscle tissue, but what is still not known is the physiological role of these receptors. In this study the researchers want to investigate if there is any effect of a acute administration of EPO on insulin resistance and/or substrate metabolism in muscle tissue.
