Stable isotope tracers and indirect calorimetry were used to evaluate the regulation of endogenous fat and glucose metabolism in relation to exercise intensity and duration. Five trained subjects were studied during exercise intensities of 25, 65, and 85% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Plasma glucose tissue uptake and muscle glycogen oxidation increased in relation to exercise intensity. In contrast, peripheral lipolysis was stimulated maximally at the lowest exercise intensity, and…

Lipid metabolism during endurance exercise.

Compared with untrained persons exercising at the same absolute intensity, persons who have undergone endurance training have greater fat oxidation during exercise without increased lipolysis, and available evidence suggests that the training-induced increase in fat oxidation is due primarily to increased oxidation of non-plasma-derived fatty acids, perhaps from intramuscular triacylglycerol stores.

Lipid metabolism during endurance exercise 1–3

Compared with untrained persons exercising at the same absolute intensity, persons who have undergone endurance training have greater fat oxidation during exercise without increased lipolysis, and available evidence suggests that the training-induced increase in fat oxidation is due primarily to increased oxidation of non-plasma-derived fatty acids, perhaps from intramuscular triacylglycerol stores.

The regulation of carbohydrate and fat metabolism during and after exercise.

A large increase in muscle glycogen concentration, far above the level found in the well-fed sedentary state, occurs in response to carbohydrate feeding following glycogen depleting exercise, markedly enhanced by endurance exercise training that induces an increase in the GLUT4 isoform of the glucose transporter in skeletal muscle.

The effects of increasing exercise intensity on muscle fuel utilisation in humans

It is concluded that the most likely mechanism for the reduction in fat oxidation during high‐intensity exercise is a downregulation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I, either by this marked decline in free carnitines availability or by a decrease in intracellular pH.

It is demonstrated that the mechanism of control of fatty acid oxidation in the muscle is the rate of entry into the mitochondria, and it is hypothesized that theRate of glycolysis is the predominant regulator of the rates of carbohydrate metabolism in muscle, and that a rapid rate of carbohydrate oxidation caused by mobilization of muscle glycogen during high intensity exercise inhibits fatty acid oxidization by limiting transport into the turbines.

Carbohydrate metabolism in exercising horses

The aim of this review is to describe the present understanding of carbohydrate metabolism in the exercising horse, its implications on nutrition and athletic performance, and to contrast it with that in other species.

Manipulation of dietary carbohydrate and muscle glycogen affects glucose uptake during exercise when fat oxidation is impaired by beta-adrenergic blockade.

There is a hierarchy of substrate compensation for reduced muscle glycogen availability after a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, with fat being the primary and plasma glucose the secondary compensatory substrate, and this apparent hierarchy likely serves to protect against hypoglycemia when endogenous glucose availability is low.

Although there is some evidence for the existence of the glucose‐FA cycle at rest and during low‐intensity exercise, it cannot explain substrate use at moderate to high exercise intensities.

This chapter examines the control of fat metabolism during moderate and intense exercise with an emphasis on human findings and the adaptations that occur with aerobic training and other acute nutritional manipulations.

Relationship between fatty acid delivery and fatty acid oxidation during strenuous exercise.

It is indicated that fat oxidation is normally impaired during exercise at 85% VO2max because of the failure of FFA mobilization to increase above resting levels, but this explains only part of the decline in fat oxidation when exercise intensity is increased from 65 to 85%VO2max.

Plasma Glucose Metabolism During Exercise in Humans

It appears that a decrease in insulin and an increase in glucagon are both required for hepatic glucose production to increase normally during moderate intensity, moderate duration exercise, and both glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis appear to be decreased by endurance exercise training.

Effects of elevated plasma FFA and insulin on muscle glycogen usage during exercise.

Seven men were studied during 30 min of treadmill exercise to determine the effects of increased availability of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) and elevated plasma insulin on the utilization of muscle glycogen and total carbohydrate oxidation.

Role of triglyceride-fatty acid cycle in controlling fat metabolism in humans during and after exercise.

It is concluded that triglyceride-fatty acid cycling plays an important role in enabling a rapid response of fatty acid metabolism to major changes in energy metabolism.

Factors controlling fat mobilization from human subcutaneous adipose tissue during exercise.

These findings challenge current views on the regulation of NEFA release, but are in agreement with the concept of supply of fatty acids from adipose tissue as the major factor limiting fat oxidation during sustained exercise.

Turnover of free fatty acids during recovery from exercise.

It is concluded that the postexercise peak in arterial FFA is a consequence of augmented release of FFA into the plasma pool above the level during exercise, possibly related to the release of sympathetic vasoconstrictor tone.

Effect of exercise and recovery on muscle protein synthesis in human subjects.

It is concluded that although aerobic exercise may stimulate muscle protein breakdown, this does not result in a significant depletion of muscle mass because muscle protein synthesis is stimulated in recovery.

Fat metabolism in heavy exercise.

The finding of a high respiratory exchange ratio may not exclude the use of fat as a major fuel source in exercise associated with lactate production, and fat metabolism may be controlled to favour adipose tissue lipolysis and extraction of free fatty acids by muscle from the circulation.

Substrate utilization and enzymes in skeletal muscle of extremely endurance-trained men.

T in comparison to U were further characterized by a smaller glycogen breakdown and a smaller glucose uptake, which may have been one contributing factor that prevented the blood glucose level from falling in T.

Effect of short-term fasting on lipolytic responsiveness in normal and obese human subjects.

There was an increased lipolytic response to epinephrine after fasting in both groups, and this increased sensitivity may have resulted from the enhancement of fatty acid-triglyceride substrate cycling that occurred after fasting.

Comparison of indirect calorimetry and a new breath 13C/12C ratio method during strenuous exercise.

The results obtained by this new method support the validity of the underlying assumption that indirect calorimetry regards VCO2 as a reflection of tissue CO2 production, during exercise in trained subjects, even up to 80-85% maximal O2 uptake.
