Normal-weight individuals:

• Metabolically healthy female and male participants with normal glucose tolerance
• Sex-, age- and physical activity levelmatched to individuals with T2D
• No participation in structured exercise programs for =6 months
• BMI between 19 to 24.9 kg/m2

Exclusion Criteria

• Contra-indications against biopsy (e.g. impaired hemostasis,
keloidosis, history of adverse reactions to local anesthesia or to surgical
procedures)
• Contra-indications against magnetic resonance imaging, including metal implants or other osteosynthesis material, not MRI compatible stents, clips
etc., pacemakers, infusion pumps, claustrophobia
• neurological conditions
including strokes, brain hemorrhage, aneurysms, brain tumors,
neurodegenerative diseases, seizures, head trauma based on medical history
• Cardiovascular conditions including acute coronary artery disease with coronary angina or myocardial infarction in the last 6 months,
heart failure (NYHA III-IV), ventricular or atrial arrhythmias, pacemaker, recurrent syncope,
• Autonomic disorders
• Chronic pulmonary diseases (COPD, severe asthma, pulmonary fibrosis)
• Sleep apnea, insomnia or narcolepsy based on medical history
• Any other medical condition that the investigators consider contraindication to the study procedures that would make it unsafe or
confound the measurements, e.g. medication with insulin, sulfonylurea, glinide,medication influencing hemostasis (e.g. ASS, anticoagulants)
