Preferential resynthesis of muscle glycogen in fasting rats after exhausting exercise

The American Journal of Physiology
R D FellJ O Holloszy

Abstract

Despite carbohydrate starvation (fasting or fat feeding) considerable glycogen accumulation, ranging from 20 to 30 mumol glucose/g, occurred in hindlimb muscles of rats following exhausting exercise that caused severe muscle and liver glycogen depletion and hypoglycemia. The largest increase in muscle glycogen occurred during the first 3 h after exercise when plasma levels of glucagon and epinephrine were very high and insulin concentration was low. The concentrations of glycogen attained in different hindlimb muscles in the fasting and fat-fed animals were between 50 and 100% of the values found in rats fed carbohydrate after the exhausting exercise. In rats fed carbohydrate following exercise, liver glycogen accumulation greatly exceeds muscle glycogen accumulation. A remarkable difference in the response of liver glycogen was seen in the carbohydrate starved rats. In contrast to the rapid increase in muscle glycogen, liver glycogen was still essentially completely depleted in the fasting and fat-fed rats 24 h after exercise. This indicates that the glucose made available via gluconeogenesis was preferentialy channeled away from liver glycogen synthesis into muscle glycogen.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
