Background: Secretion of IL-6 during exercise is hypothesised to be regulated according to substrate availability within the working muscle. We have previously shown that energy supply in type 1 diabetes during aerobic exercise in hyperglycaemia strongly relies on carbohydrate oxidation whereas a physiological shift from carbohydrate to lipid oxidation occurs in euglycaemia. The present study investigated whether IL-6 response to exercise is different in euglycaemia compared w...
