PG - 695-9 AB - Seven men were studied during 30 min of treadmill exercise (approximately 70% VO2 max) to determine the effects of increased availability of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) and elevated plasma insulin on the utilization of muscle glycogen. This elevation of plasma FFA (1.01 mmol/1) with heparin (2,000 units) decreased the rate of muscle glycogen depletion by 40% as compared to the control experiment (FFA = 0.21 mmol/1). The ingestion of 75 g of glucose 45 min before exercise produced a 3.3-fold increase in plasma insulin and a 38% rise in plasma glucose at 0 min of exercise. Subsequent exercise increased muscle glycogen utilization and total carbohydrate (CHO) oxidation 17 and 13%, respectively, when compared to the control trial. This elevation of plasma insulin produced hypoglycemia (less than 3.5 mmol/1) in most subjects throughout the exercise. These data illustrate the regulatory influence of both plasma insulin and FFA on the rate of CHO usage during prolonged severe muscular activity.
