PG - 1605-10 AB - In rats, muscle glycogen depletion has been associated with increased insulin action. Whether this also occurs in man has not been reported. After 4 d rest, 13 males (E Group) had a percutaneous muscle biopsy of the vastus lateralis muscle followed by a euglycemic clamp at plasma insulin congruent to 100 microU/ml and congruent to 1,900 microU/ml, with simultaneous indirect calorimetry. This was repeated 1 wk later, but after glycogen-depleting exercise the night before the euglycemic clamp. Seven subjects underwent the same protocol but were also re-fed 100 g carbohydrate (CHO) after the exercise (EF group). In both groups, the mean muscle glycogen content was approximately 40% lower (P less than 0.01) after exercise compared with the muscle glycogen content measured after rest. In the E group, the mean muscle glycogen synthase activity (percent independent of glucose-6-phosphate) increased threefold (P less than 0.001) after exercise, but increased only twofold in the EF group (P less than 0.02 between groups). In both groups, the mean basal and insulin-stimulated CHO oxidation rates were lower in the post-exercise, glycogen-depleted condition compared with the rested, glycogen-replete condition. The mean insulin-stimulated CHO storage rate increased significantly in the E group after exercise but not in the EF group. In the E group, the total insulin-stimulated CHO disposal rate (M) was 17 (P less than 0.04) and 10% (P less than 0.03) higher after exercise during the low and high dose insulin infusion, respectively. No significant changes in M were observed in the EF group. For all subjects, after rest and exercise, the M correlated with the CHO storage rates during the low (r = 0.80, P less than 0.001) and high dose (r = 0.77, P less than 0.001) insulin infusions. After exercise, the muscle glycogen synthase activity correlated with the CHO storage rate (r = 0.73, P less than 0.002; r = 0.75, P less than 0.002) during the low and high dose insulin infusions, respectively, and also with M (r = 0.64, P less than 0.008; r = 0.57; P less than 0.02).
