30 31 Purpose: To examine whether muscle glycogen availability is associated with fatigue 32 in a repeated exercise bout following short-term recovery. 33 34 Methods: Ten endurance-trained individuals underwent two trials in a repeated 35 measures design, each involving an initial run to exhaustion at 70% (Run-1) 36 followed by a 4-h recovery and a subsequent run to exhaustion at 70% (Run37 2)....

In the present study, we have investigated the effect of carbohydrate and protein hydrolysate ingestion on muscle glycogen resynthesis during 4 h of recovery from intense cycle exercise. Five volunteers were studied during recovery while they ingested, immediately after exercise, a 600-ml bolus and then every 15 min a 150-ml bolus containing 1) 1.67 g. kg body wt(-1). l(-1) of sucrose and 0.5 g...

The purpose of this study was to determine if breakfast macronutrient composition improved thermic effect of feeding (TEF) and appetite after a one-week adaptation in young women who habitually skip breakfast. A randomized, controlled study was conducted in females (24.1 ± 2 years), who skip breakfast (≥5 times/week). Participants were placed into one of three groups for eight days (n = 8 per g...

We examined the effect of carbohydrate (CHO) availability on whole body and skeletal muscle protein utilization at rest, during exercise, and during recovery in humans. Six men cycled at approximately 75% peak O(2) uptake (Vo(2peak)) to exhaustion to reduce body CHO stores and then consumed either a high-CHO (H-CHO; 71 + or - 3% CHO) or low-CHO (L-CHO; 11 + or - 1% CHO) diet for 2 days before t...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Differential diagnosis between malignant tumors and chronic infections in the masticator space remains challenging. The purpose of the study was to categorize various changes of both lesions by using single-voxel 1H-MR spectroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four masticator space lesions, 7 chronic infections, and 17 malignant tumors were assessed with 1H-MR spectros...

In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that a carbohydrate-protein (CHO-Pro) supplement would be more effective in the replenishment of muscle glycogen after exercise compared with a carbohydrate supplement of equal carbohydrate content (LCHO) or caloric equivalency (HCHO). After 2.5 +/- 0.1 h of intense cycling to deplete the muscle glycogen stores, subjects (n = 7) received, using a r...

To investigate the role in lipoprotein metabolism of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) secreted by tissues, we established two cell lines. Fusion plasmids containing either human LPL cDNA or antisense LPL cDNA under control of the cytomegalovirus promoter were transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, designated as CHO-LPL and CHO-anti-LPL, respectively. CHO-LPL constitutively produced a high ...

We employed a glycogen-depleting session of exercise followed by a low-carbohydrate (CHO) diet to investigate modifications that occur in muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-cycling properties compared with low-CHO diet alone. SR properties were assessed in nine untrained males [peak aerobic power (Vo(2 peak)) = 43.6 +/- 2.6 (SE) ml.kg(-1).min(-1)] during prolonged cycle exercise to fatig...
