Oxidation of Exogenous Carbohydrate During Prolonged Exercise in Fed and Fasted Conditions*
Abstract
The oxidation of glucose and fructose ingested during moderate exercise performed on a cycle ergometer (120 min, 52% VO2max) was compared in ten young males fasted (n = 5) or fed (n = 5) before exercise. The subjects ingested randomly 1.33 g/kg body weight (approximately 96 +/- 9 g) of either enriched 13C-glucose (G), 13C-fructose (F), or water only (W); the solutions were evenly distributed over the exercise period. The fasted subjects began the three exercises with a lower blood glucose (P less than or equal to 0.05 for F only) and insulin (P less than or equal to 0.05) levels and a higher free fatty acid (FFA) concentration (P less than or equal to 0.05) than the fed ones. Throughout the exercise period, blood glucose level was maintained in fasted as well as in fed group for G and F ingestions, while it decreased (P less than or equal to 0.05 at the 100th min in fasted subjects) with water ingestion. Insulin level was similar in both fed and fasted conditions with F and W ingestions and lower than G trials for the fed subjects. For the three ingestions, FFA was lower (P less than or equal to 0.05) in the fasted than in the fed group over the exercise period. Over the 2-h period of exercise, a greater (P less than or equal to 0.05) amount of exogenous F was oxidized in the fasted (49 +/- 6 g) than in the fed (36 +/- 5 g) group, which represent 31% and 20% of the total carbohydrate energy supply, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

When only fructose is ingested, exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates during exercise are equivalent or lower compared to glucose ingestion.
“When (only) fructose is ingested, exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates during exercise have been shown to be equivalent (Decombaz et al. 1985; Massicotte et al. 1990; Burelle et al. 2006) or lower compared to glucose ingestion (Massicotte et al. 1986, 1989, 1990; Guezennec et al. 1989; Jandrain et al. 1993; Adopo et al. 1994; Burelle et al. 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
