Abstract;Restricted diet and physical training (PT) are the first treatments for early stage symptom of type 2 diabetes. We studied the effect of PT on insulin resistance in pheripheral tissues and alpha-glucosidases in small intestine of KK-Ay mice, an animal model of type 2 diabetes. The blood glucose and plasma insulin level in KK-Ay mice were significantly decreased after 3 weeks of PT when compared with control group (no-exercise). PT caused decrease in insulin resistance, which may be beneficial, for insulin tolerance. However, PT had little, if any, effect on alpha-glucosidase activity in small intestine of KK-Ay mice.
