Sentences with phrase «muscle glucose transport»

Because the further improvement in muscle glucose transport in the combined group was not associated with additional upregulation of GLUT - 4 protein or a further reduction in oxidative stress, the mechanism for this interaction must be due to additional, as yet unidentified, factors.

Interactions of Exercise Training and Lipoic Acid on Skeletal Muscle Glucose Transport in Obese Zucker Rats J Appl Physiol 2001 (Jul); 91 (1): 145 — 153 These results indicate that Exercise Training and Alpha Lipoic Acid interact in an additive fashion to improve insulin action in insulin - resistant skeletal muscle.

Cartee GD, Kietzke EW, Briggs - Tung C. Adaptation of muscle glucose transport with caloric restriction in adult, middle - aged, and old rats.

Recent studies have shown that ALA has a positive impact on insulin action (via the insulin signal transduction pathway) and muscle glucose transport, especially in people whose insulin function is suboptimal, i.e. have developed insulin resistance.

Not exact matches

Insulin is the hormone that transports glucose from the bloodstream into cells, (particularly muscle and fat cells) thereby decreasing blood sugar levels.

Gestational protein restriction impairs insulin - regulated glucose transport mechanisms in gastrocnemius muscles of adult male offspring.

Furthermore, the model has been used to study the molecular background for the impaired glucose transport and glycogen synthesis associated with insulin resistance in skeletal muscles.

The muscle cells build up a resistance to insulin, so the body produces more and more in an attempt to maintain the transport of glucose to the cells for energy.

It then transports glucose — a simple sugar made from the digested carbohydrates — from the food to the muscles to be used for energy.

After doing high - intensity exercise, or resistance training, your muscles can pull glucose into their cells via something called «non-insulin mediated glucose transport».

«Glucose Transporter Protein Content and Glucose Transport Capacity in Rat Skeletal Muscles,» American Journal Physiology Endocrinology Metabolism, 259 (1990), E593 - 598.

This presents a possible mechanism for these observations, owed to the close relationship between skeletal muscle GLUT - 4 content and maximal insulin - stimulated glucose transport capacity.55

Your body uses insulin to transport blood sugar (glucose) out of the bloodstream to be either utilized by muscle as energy or stored as fat.

Their metabolites accumulate in muscle and fat cells, activate proinflammatory signalling cascades, cause mitochondrial dysfunction, and interfere with insulin - stimulated glucose transport.

Studies clearly demonstrate that fat in the blood directly inhibits glucose transport and usage in our muscles, which is responsible for clearing about 85 % of the glucose out of our blood.

While the large output of insulin that follows a high blood sugar level is undesirable, insulin must be present in the bloodstream constantly so that amino acids and glucose can be transported into the muscle tissue.

When blood glucose levels start to rise, the pancreas releases insulin, which helps to transport the sugar into muscle and tissues, where it is Read More...

Whether that glucose comes from carbohydrates, from protein via gluconeogenesis, or from glycerol (a byproduct of fatty acid metabolism), excess amounts in the blood stream that aren't immediately used are transported by insulin to muscle and liver cells and get converted to glycogen.

Regular, high intensity exercise helps to activate the glucose transport molecule called GLUT - 4 receptor in the liver and muscle tissue.

Normally, human bodies are sugar - driven machines: ingested carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is mainly transported and used as energy or stored as glycogen in liver and muscle tissue.

The insulin transports this glucose into muscle cells (as stored glycogen), and also into fat cells, where it is essentially stored as fat.

At the same time, the fasting group showed increased levels of a muscle protein that «is responsible for insulin - stimulated glucose transport in muscle and thus plays a pivotal role in regulation of insulin sensitivity,» Dr Hespel said.

When blood glucose levels start to rise, the pancreas releases insulin, which helps to transport the sugar into muscle and tissues, where it is used as energy or stored.

As we age and / or our bodies repeatedly respond to rapid and high levels of glucose, the insulin receptors in muscles and tissues can become less sensitive to insulin, and take longer to transport glucose into the muscles.

ET or R - ALA individually increased insulin - mediated glucose transport activity in isolated epitrochlearis (44 - 48 %) and soleus (37 - 57 %) muscles.

Water helps transport oxygen, fat and glucose to your working muscles, regulate your body temperature, digest food and eliminate waste products.

Resistance training has been shown to increase muscle mass, reduce body mass index (BMI), improve insulin sensitivity, and increase glucose transport (17,26,30).

This increase in muscle mass may lower future risk of type 2 diabetes as hypertrophy is associated with increased glucose transport and insulin sensitivity (17).

Insulin assists amino acid and glucose transport into muscle cells.
