The results signify that skeletal muscle DCE MRI can be employed as a non-invasive technique for the assessment of muscles' microcirculation in T2D. Our findings suggest that microvascular permeability of skeletal muscle is lowered in patients with T2D and that a decrease in microvascular permeability is associated with insulin resistance. These results are of interest with regards to the impact of muscle perfusion on diabetic complications such as diabetic sarcopenia.
