- Abstract
The article explores whether exercise can improve insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle through angiotensin (Ang) 1-7 signalling. The author finds that exercise does not only increase insulin-mediated glucose transport, but also enhances whole-body insulin sensitivity. The role of the renin-angiotensin system, a cardiovascular homeostasis regulator, in the formation of Ang II and Ang 1-7 peptides is also discussed.
