Study 3 investigates the hypothesis that an exercise programme of steady walking will have larger effects on insulin sensitivity and glycaemic control when combined with Acipimox intake prior to each exercise session in people with prediabetes. Thirty-four sedentary, overweight/obese people (aged 25-50 years, BMI >28 kg.m-2) with prediabetes will be recruited using the same strategy as study 2 and split into two groups (detailed below).
Pre-intervention assessments:
Visit 1: Participants will undergo an assessment of body composition (DXA) and undertake a graded treadmill walking test to estimate maximal aerobic fitness (VO2max).
Visit 2: Participants will be able to opt to undergo an MRI scan, taking place before breakfast. The MRI scan is used to measure fat stored in the liver and muscles. A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor will be inserted to measure insulin sensitivity.
Visit 3: Participants will arrive at the laboratory after an overnight fast (>10 h) to undergo a Hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp to assess whole-body insulin sensitivity. Plasma glucose will be measured at regular intervals and muscle biopsies will be obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle of one leg before and after 2 hours of the clamp.
Exercise intervention: Pairs of participants from each group (matched for gender, age and VO2max) will be randomized to undertake 12 weeks of steady walking combined with ingestion of either Acipimox or placebo in a counter-balanced, double-blind design. Supervised treadmill walking sessions will be undertaken at LJMU three times per week, with exercise performed at a speed equivalent to 45% VO2max. Participants will initially exercise for 30 mins per session (weeks 1 and 2), and each session will increase in duration by 5 mins every 2 weeks thereafter, up to 50 minutes of exercise. 1 hour before each walking session, participants will ingest either 250 mg Acipimox or nothing.
Post-intervention assessments: The post-intervention assessments will be identical in all respects to the pre-intervention assessments and will be commenced ≥72 hours after the final training session.

Active Comparator: Acipimox ingestion
Individuals in this group will undergo pre-assessments for body composition (DXA), Insulin sensitivity (Hyperinsulinaemic Euglycaemic clamp and continuous glucose monitor), muscle biopsies pre- and post- clamp for analysis of lipid metabolites, liver fat (MRI) and exercise capacity (VO2 max). Participants will then ingest 250 mg of Acipimox 1 hour before each exercise session of the 12 week intervention.

Other: Exercise Program
12-week walking based intervention (3 sessions per week)
Diagnostic Test: DXA Participants will undergo an assessment of body composition (DXA)
Diagnostic Test: MRI used to measure fat stored in the liver
Diagnostic Test: Hyperinsulinaemic Euglycaemic Clamp Participants will arrive at the laboratory after an overnight fast (>10 h) to undergo a Hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp to assess whole-body insulin sensitivity. Plasma glucose will be measured at regular intervals and muscle biopsies will be obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle of one leg before and after 2 hours of the clamp.
Diagnostic Test: VO2 Max Assessment of maximum aerobic capacity.
Diagnostic Test: Continuous Glucose Monitor CGM sensor will be inserted to measure insulin sensitivity over a 24hr period.
Procedure: Muscle Biopsies Participants will undergo muscle biopsies pre and post the hyperinsulinemic euglyceamic clamp from the vastus lateralis.
Drug: Acipimox 250 MG Participants will be randomised into two groups. One group will be prescribed Acipimox that will be taken 1 hour prior to each exercise session. The other group will take no drug.

Placebo Comparator: No drug
Individuals in this group will undergo pre-assessments for body composition (DXA), Insulin sensitivity (Hyperinsulinaemic Euglycaemic clamp and continuous glucose monitor) with muscle biopsies pre- and post- clamp for analysis of lipid metabolites, liver fat (MRI) and exercise capacity (VO2 max). Participants will then ingest nothing prior to their exercise sessions during the 12-week exercise programme.
