Effects of exercise on glucose homeostasis in Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Article Abstract:
This article investigates the effects of physical activity on blood glucose homeostasis in patients with Type 2 diabetes and diabetes prevention. Findings indicate that although exercise does not significantly influence glucose control in diabetics, high physical activity levels are associated with a reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Estrogen replacement, muscle composition, and physical function: The health ABC study
Article Abstract:
A cross-sectional analysis of women participating in the Health, Aging and Body Composition study was conducted to determine whether estrogen use is associated with enhanced muscle composition, and if so, whether this translates into improved strength and physical function. The association between estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) and muscle composition and strength were minor and did not translate into improved physical function.

Effects of physical activity on insulin action and glucose tolerance in obesity
Article Abstract:
This review examines the effects of physical activity upon glucose homeostasis as evidenced by glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity criteria. Exercise reduces insulin resistance in obesity and type II diabetes patients but influences glucose tolerance to a lesser extent.
