Are CHO important during exercise? • 1.) Fatigue often associated with CHO depletion. 2.) CHO, OAA Fat metabolism can only support exercise at 50% VO2 max. 3.) Hypoglycemia associated with liver CHO depletion.
Muscle glycogen breakdown during exercise • Two biggest factors are intensity and duration of exercise Recruitment order of slow twitch vs. Fast twitch fibers • Glycogen use from only exercising muscle • 1 leg experiments • deltoid vs. vastus lateralis
Regulation of Muscle Glycogenolysis - + ADP ATP • PFK-1 AMP H+ Pi citrate -Energy state of muscle cell with impact from substrate supply Phosphorylase -local factors -substrate availability -hormonal regulation
Regulation of Muscle Glycogenolysis (cont.) Phosphorylase (cont.) -local factors: -substrate availability -hormonal regulation Local factors: cytosolic Ca++ - activates phosphorylase kinase ADP, AMP, Pi - allosteric activators of phosphorylase -Need for Pi as a substrate for phosphorylase
Regulation of Muscle Glycogenolysis (cont.) Substrate availability: -Glycogen - allosteric activator of phosphorylase -Plasma FFA FFA glycogen use FFA glycogen use -FFA citrate - PFK-1 acetyl-Co-A activates PDH Kinase P-PDH its activity -Caffeine glycogen use Corn Oil/Heparin glycogen use -Plasma Glucose - Hypoglycemia glycogen use
Hormonal Regulation Hormonal Regulation Epi/N-Epi via receptors C-AMP - blockade glycogen use Removal of adrenal medulla glycogen use
