Caffeine ingestion and muscle metabolism during prolonged exercise in humans
Abstract
We examined the effects of a high-caffeine dose on endurance performance and muscle acetyl group metabolism during prolonged exercise. Eight subjects cycled to exhaustion at approximately 80% maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) 1 h after ingestion of 9 mg/kg body wt dextrose (Pl) or caffeine (Caf). In the Pl trial, muscle biopsies were taken at rest (1 h postingestion) and at 15 min and exhaustion during exercise. The Caf trial followed the same protocol 1 wk later, with an additional biopsy at the time corresponding to Pl exhaustion. The subjects cycled significantly longer during the Caf trial (96.2 +/- 8.8 min) than in the Pl trial (75.8 +/- 4.8 min). Net glycogenolysis during the initial 15 min of cycling was reduced in the Caf vs. Pl trial (4.7 +/- 1.5 vs. 10.6 +/- 1.3 mmol.kg dry muscle-1.min-1; P less than 0.05). Muscle citrate concentration was increased at rest with Caf (0.59 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.37 +/- 0.05 mmol/kg dry muscle; P less than 0.05) but increased to similar values in both trials during cycling. Caf elevated the acetyl-CoA/CoA-SH ratio at rest (0.316 +/- 0.046 vs. 0.201 +/- 0.023; P less than 0.05) but had no effect on the increases in muscle acetyl-CoA and acetylcarnitine during exercise. The results indicate that Caf before exercise decreased muscle glycogenolysis by approximately 55% over the first 15 min of exercise at approximately 80% VO2max. This "spared glycogen" was available late in exercise and coincided with a prolonged time to exhaustion. Increased utilization of intramuscular triacylglycerol and/or extramuscular free fatty acids after caffeine ingestion may inhibit carbohydrate use at rest and early during exercise via elevations in muscle citrate and the acetyl-CoA/CoA-SH ratio. Muscle acetyl-CoA and acetylcarnitine were maintained above resting contents even at exhaustion when muscle glycogen was depleted.

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.
