Study Overview

Brief Summary

The study aims to determine in obese patients the implication of intramuscular lipid accumulation in relation with insulin resistance and defect in lipid oxidation.

Detailed Description

Obese insulin sensitive and obese insulin resistant patients undergo a glucose tolerance test, indirect calorimetry during exercise and muscular biopsy.
