Effect of physical training on utilization of a glucose load given orally during exercise

G. Krzentowski, F. Pirnay, A. S. Luyckx, M. Lacroix, F. Mosora and P. J. Lefebvre

The effect of a 6-wk training period on the oxidation of a 100-g glucose load given orally during exercise was investigated in six healthy male volunteers. The subjects were submitted before and 24 h after the training program to a 105-min exercise bout (performed at about 40% of the pretraining VO2max) followed by a 90-min resting period. Naturally labeled [13C]glucose was given 15 min after the beginning of exercise. Exogenous glucose oxidation was derived from 13CO2 measurements in expired air, and total glucose and lipid oxidation were evaluated by indirect calorimetry. Training (60-min bicycling 5 days a week at 30-40% VO2max) resulted in a 29% increase in VO2max. During the 15 min of exercise that preceded glucose ingestion, the rate of total carbohydrate oxidation was slightly decreased after training, whereas the rate of lipid oxidation was slightly increased. Training did not affect the response of blood glucose, plasma insulin, or plasma free fatty acids to the glucose ingested during exercise; in contrast, the circulating levels of epinephrine, glycerol, and lactate were significantly reduced after training. Substrate utilization measurements revealed similar oxidation rates of carbohydrates (106.9 +/- 2.7 before vs. 100.2 +/- 4.7 g/3 h after training) and of lipids. However, detailed analysis revealed a significant 17% increase in exogenous glucose oxidation, thus indicating a significant sparing of endogenous carbohydrates. In conclusion, physical training induces a modest but significant increase in the oxidation of an oral load of glucose given during subsequent exercise of moderate intensity, a phenomenon reinforcing the sparing of endogenous carbohydrate stores.
