Post Muscle Glycogen Accumulation Trained vs Untrained W5

Question 1

What does muscle glycogen accumulation correlate with?

Answer 1

Relative proportion of glycogen synthase in active form

Question 2

What does the amount of GLUT4 content determine?

Answer 2

The rate of glucose transport into muscle

Question 3

What is muscle GLUT4 content correlated with?

Answer 3

Glycogen accumulation rates over 6hours post exercise when athletes have a high CHO post-exercise diet

Question 4

What does an increase in GLUT4 lead to?

Answer 4

Increases rate/amount of glycogen accumulation after a glycogen-depleting exercise bout

Increase in rate of insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis

Question 5

Who has higher levels of GLUT4?

Answer 5

Trained

Question 6

What are glycogen transport rates correlated with?

Answer 6

Question 7

What is a major determinant of muscle glycogen accumulation after exercise?

Answer 7

Glycogen Synthase (I form)

Question 8

What is more closely associated with glycogen accumulation rates- Muscle GLUT4 content or Glycogen Synthase I?

Answer 8

Muscle GLUT4 content

Question 9

What deleterious effects does muscle glycogen have?

Answer 9

Decrease in:
