Abstract

Background: Patients with metabolic syndrome show an increased incidence of heart failure and worse outcome in cardiac surgery. Rats selectively bred for low (LCR) intrinsic aerobic exercise capacity show signs of the metabolic syndrome with reduced systemic insulin sensitivity, compared to their counterparts bred for high intrinsic aerobic capacity (HCR). Exercise has been described to improve survival, muscle function and insulin sensitivity in patients.
