Utilization of skeletal muscle triacylglycerol during postexercise recovery in humans
Abstract
The utilization of muscle triacylglycerols was studied during and after prolonged bicycle ergometer exercise to exhaustion in eight healthy young men. Two days before exercise and in the postexercise recovery period, subjects were fed a carbohydrate-rich diet (65–70% of energy from carbohydrates). Exercise decreased muscle glycogen concentrations from 533 ± 18 to 108 ± 10 mmol/kg dry wt, whereas muscle triacylglycerol concentrations were unaffected (49 ± 5 before vs. 49 ± 8 mmol/kg dry wt after exercise). During the first 18 h after exercise, muscle glycogen concentrations were restored to 409 ± 20 mmol/kg dry wt. In contrast, muscle triacylglycerol concentrations decreased ( P < 0.05) to a nadir of 38 ± 5 mmol/kg dry wt, and muscle lipoprotein lipase activity increased by 72% compared with values before exercise. Pulmonary respiratory exchange ratio values of 0.80–0.82 indicated a relatively high fractional lipid combustion despite the high carbohydrate intake. From 18 to 42 h of recovery, muscle glycogen synthesis was slow and muscle triacylglycerol concentrations and lipoprotein lipase activity were restored to the preexercise values. It is concluded that muscle triacylglycerol concentrations are not diminished during exhaustive glycogen-depleting exercise. However, in the postexercise recovery period, muscle glycogen resynthesis has high metabolic priority, resulting in postexercise lipid combustion despite a high carbohydrate intake. It is suggested that muscle triacylglycerols, and probably very low density lipoprotein triacylglycerols, are important in providing fuel for muscle metabolism in the postexercise recovery period.

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.
