No effect of carbohydrate feeding on glycogen synthase in human muscle during exercise
Abstract
Summary. The effect of carbohydrate (CHO) feedings on exercise‐mediated changes in glycogen synthase fractional (GSF) activity has been investigated. Subjects cycled at ‐70% of maximal oxygen uptake on two occasions: the first to fatigue (135±17 min; meanæ) (control, CON), and the second at the same workload and duration as the first, but with the addition of frequent ingestion of CHO during exercise (0.27 g kg‐1 body weight every 15 min). Biopsies were taken from the quadriceps femoris muscle before and immediately after exercise. Plasma glucose and insulin decreased during CON exercise, but remained elevated throughout CHO exercise (end of exercise: glucose = 4.4±0.2 mM CON vs. 5.8±0.2 CHO, P < 0.01; insulin = 9±l mU ml‐1 CON vs. 19±3 CHO, P < 0.05). Glycogen decreased to ‐ 10% of the basal value during CON and to ‐20% during CHO, and there was no significant difference in net glycogenosis between treatments. GSF activity averaged 0.25±0.03 and 0.22±0.05 at rest, and increased to 0.51 ±0.08 and 0.48±0.09 after exercise in CON and CHO, respectively (P > 0.05 between treatments). It is concluded that under the present conditions CHO feedings do not alter the exercise‐mediated changes in GSF activity. The increase in GSF during exercise is attributed at least in part to the decrease in muscle glycogen (which increases the suitability of GS as substrate for GS phosphatase).

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.
