| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many researchers and athletes have been interested to know how post-exercise glycogen resynthesis can be enhanced in skeletal muscle. However, it has been suggested that there is an upper limit of resynthesis rate of skeletal muscle glycogen. Meanwhile, recent studies suggested that reducing carbohydrate utilization as a fuel during post-exercise phase might enhance skeletal muscle glycogen repletion. In this study, we investigated using in vitro system whether treatment of the regent that is expected for attenuating carbohydrate utilization as an energy fuel stimulates glycogen repletion in skeletal muscle after exercise. We found a significant effect of ketone body, which is reported to reduce the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase, on post-exercise glycogen repletion in skeletal muscle.
