“Exercise influences glucose metabolism in many ways. Prof. Cora Weigert explains how skeletal muscle takes up glucose and what conclusions can be drawn from this, particularly regarding the prevention and treatment of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.” This is how the podcast episode featuring the DZD researcher from the Institute for Clinical Chemistry and Pathobiochemistry at the University Hospital of Tübingen is announced.
Cora Weigert is an expert in muscle metabolism and conducts research on topics including gender differences in sports and obesity. She discusses research on insulin-dependent and exercise-dependent signaling pathways, as well as the importance of glycogen storage, mitochondria, and muscular adaptation.
