<b>Purpose:</b> To determine whether interrupting sitting with brief bouts of simple resistance activities (SRAs) at different frequencies improves postprandial glucose, insulin and triglycerides in adults with medication-controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D). <p><b>Methods:</b> Participants [n=23, 10 females, Age: 62±8 y (mean±SD), BMI: 32.7 ± 3.5 kg<sup>.</sup>m<sup>-2</sup>] completed a three-armed randomized crossover trial (6-14 day washout): sitting uninterrupted for 7 h (SIT); sitting with 3-minute SRAs (half-squats, calf raises, gluteal contractions, and knee raises) every 30 minutes (SRA3); and, sitting with 6-minute SRAs every 60 minutes (SRA6). Net incremental areas under the curve (iAUC<sub>net</sub>) for glucose, insulin, and triglycerides were compared between conditions.</p> <p><b>Results:</b> <a>Glucose and insulin 7 h iAUC<sub>net </sub>were attenuated significantly during SRA6 (glucose 17.0 mmol<sup>.</sup>h<sup>.</sup>L<sup>-1</sup>, 95% CI 12.5, 21.4; insulin 1229 pmol<sup>.</sup>h<sup>.</sup>L<sup>-1</sup>, 95% CI 982, 1538) when compared to SIT (glucose 21.4 mmol<sup>.</sup>h<sup>.</sup>L<sup>-1</sup>, 95% CI 16.9, 25.8; insulin 1411 pmol<sup>.</sup>h<sup>.</sup>L<sup>-1</sup>, 95% CI 1128, 1767; <i>P</i> < 0.05), and compared to SRA3 ( for glucose only; 22.1 mmol<sup>.</sup>h<sup>.</sup>L<sup>-1</sup>, 95% CI 17.7, 26.6; <i>P </i>= 0.01) No significant differences in glucose or insulin iAUC<sub>net</sub> were observed comparing SRA3 and SIT.

We carried out three types of 2-hr experimental sessions with middle-aged and older adults with Type 2 diabetes in order to examine the acute effect of interrupting prolonged sitting with varying periods of standing on postprandial glycemia and blood pressure (BP): (a) prolonged sitting after breakfast; (b) standing for 10 min, 30 min after breakfast; and (c) standing for 20 min, 30 min after breakfast. Glucose and BP were assessed before and after breakfast. A generalized linear model revealed no significant differences for the incremental area under the curve of glucose between standing for 10 min, 30 min after breakfast, versus prolonged sitting after breakfast (β = –4.5 mg/dl/2 hr, 95% CI [–17.3, 8.4]) and standing for 20 min, 30 min after breakfast, versus prolonged sitting after breakfast (β = 0.9 mg/dl/2 hr, 95% CI [–11.9, 13.7]). There was no difference in area under the curve of systolic and diastolic BP among the sessions. Interrupting prolonged sitting time with 10 or 20 min of standing 30 min after breakfast does not attenuate postprandial glycemia or BP in middle-aged and older adults with Type 2 diabetes.

Abstract Purpose Resveratrol has shown promising anti-inflammatory effects in in vitro and animal studies. We aimed to investigate this effect on arterial inflammation in vivo. Methods This was an additional analysis of a double-blind randomized crossover trial which included eight male subjects with decreased insulin sensitivity who underwent an 18F-fluoroxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT after 34 days of placebo and resveratrol treatment (150 mg/day). 18F-FDG uptake was analyzed in the carotid arteries and the aorta, adipose tissue regions, spleen, and bone marrow as measures for arterial and systemic inflammation. Maximum target-to-background ratios (TBRmax) were compared between resveratrol and placebo treatment with the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Median values are shown with their interquartile range. Results Arterial 18F-FDG uptake was non-significantly higher after resveratrol treatment (TBRmax all vessels 1.7 (1.6–1.7)) in comparison to placebo treatment (1.5 (1.4–1.6); p=0.050). Only in visceral adipose tissue, the increase in 18F-FDG uptake after resveratrol reached statistical significance (p=0.024). Furthermore, CRP-levels were not significantly affected by resveratrol treatment (p=0.091). Conclusions Resveratrol failed to attenuate arterial or systemic inflammation as measured with 18F-FDG PET in subjects at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, validation of these findings in larger human studies is needed.
