About this trial

In this study, the investigators will use euglycemic/hyperinsulinemic clamps, longitudinal skeletal muscle biopsies, and single nucleus ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-Seq) and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC- seq) to reveal cell type-specific molecular response quantitative trait loci (rQTLs) acutely regulated by insulin signaling and glucose uptake.
