We are joined by Patrick Schrauwen at the ADA 2019 conference in San Francisco to discuss his symposium on circadian rhythmicity of skeletal muscle metabolism and its role in insulin resistance in humans, which is being presented at this year’s meeting.
Filmed at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) annual meeting 2019, San Francisco, USA.
