PG - 420-6 AB - Extant literature dealing with metabolic and hormonal adaptations to exercise following carbohydrate (CHO) reduced diets is not sufficiently precise to allow researchers to partial out the effects of reduced blood glucose levels from other general effects produced by low CHO diets. In order to shed light on this issue, a study was conducted to examine the effects of a 24-h CHO-poor diet on substrate and endocrine responses during prolonged (75 min; 60% Vo2max) glucose-infused leg exercise. Eight subjects exercised on a cycle ergometer in the two following conditions: 1) after a normal diet (CHON), and 2) after a 24-h low CHO diet (CHOL). In both conditions, glucose was constantly infused intravenously (2.2 mg . kg-1 . min-1) from the 10th to the 75th min of exercise in relatively small amounts (10.4 +/- 0.8 g). No significant differences in blood glucose concentrations were found between the two conditions at rest and during exercise although a significant increase (p less than 0.01) in glucose level was observed in both conditions after 40 min of exercise. The CHOL as compared to the CHON condition, was associated with significantly (p less than 0.05) lower resting concentrations of insulin, muscle glycogen (8.7 vs 10.6 g . kg-1), and triacylglycerol, and greater concentrations of beta-hydroxybutyrate (0.5 vs 0.2 mmol . L-1), and free fatty acids. During exercise, the CHOL condition as compared to the CHON condition, was associated with significantly (p less than 0.05) lower insulin and R values, as well as greater free fatty acid (from min 20 to 60) and epinephrine (min 60 to 75) concentrations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) FAU - Helie, R AU - Helie R FAU - Lavoie, J M AU - Lavoie JM FAU - Cousineau, D AU - Cousineau D LA - eng PT - Journal Article PT - Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't PL - Germany TA - Eur J Appl Physiol Occup Physiol JT - European journal of applied physiology and occupational physiology JID - 0410266 RN - 0 (Blood Glucose) RN - 0 (Dietary Carbohydrates) RN - 0 (Fatty Acids, Nonesterified) RN - 0 (Hydroxybutyrates) RN - 0 (Insulin) RN - 0 (Triglycerides) RN - 9007-92-5 (Glucagon) RN - IY9XDZ35W2 (Glucose) RN - TZP1275679 (3-Hydroxybutyric Acid) RN - WI4X0X7BPJ (Hydrocortisone) RN - X4W3ENH1CV (Norepinephrine) RN - YKH834O4BH (Epinephrine) SB - IM MH - 3-Hydroxybutyric Acid MH - Adult MH - Bicycling MH - Blood Glucose/*metabolism MH - Dietary Carbohydrates/*administration & dosage MH - Epinephrine/blood MH - Fatty Acids, Nonesterified/blood MH - Glucagon/blood MH - Glucose MH - Humans MH - Hydrocortisone/blood MH - Hydroxybutyrates/blood MH - Insulin/blood MH - Kinetics MH - Leg MH - Male MH - Norepinephrine/blood MH - *Physical Exertion MH - Triglycerides/blood EDAT- 1985/01/01 00:00 MHDA- 1985/01/01 00:01 CRDT- 1985/01/01 00:00 PHST- 1985/01/01 00:00 [pubmed] PHST- 1985/01/01 00:01 [medline] PHST- 1985/01/01 00:00 [entrez] AID - 10.1007/BF02337188 [doi] PST - ppublish SO - Eur J Appl Physiol Occup Physiol. 1985;54(4):420-6. doi: 10.1007/BF02337188.
