Introduction:
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by high glycemic
levels for long periods. This disease has a high prevalence in the world population, being currently observed
an increase in its incidence. This fact is mainly due to the sedentary lifestyle and hypercaloric
diets. Non-pharmacological interventions for glycemic control include exercise, which promotes
changes in skeletal muscle and adipocytes. Thus, increased glucose uptake by skeletal muscle and decreased
insulin resistance through modulating adipocytes are the main factors that improve glycemic
control against diabetes.
Conclusion:
It was sought to elucidate mechanisms involved in the improvement of glycemic control
in diabetics in front of the exercise.
