| Research Abstract |
We examined the effect of the glycogen loading, which is the prescriptions of exercise and high-carbohydrate diet for increasing muscle glycogen levels, on brain glycogen levels. As results, the glycogen loading increased glycogen levels in the hippocampus as well as in the muscle. These findings indicate that the hippocampal glycogen synthesis is regulated depend on the carbohydrate intake contents as like in the muscles.
