Sentences with phrase «promotes glycogen synthesis»

Since biotin increases insulin production and stimulates glucokinase — an enzyme in the liver that promotes glycogen synthesis — it helps to lower blood sugar levels.

Dietary strategies to promote glycogen synthesis after exercise.

Not exact matches

Sustamine has been shown to enhance electrolyte and water absorption in the intestines, stimulate glycogen synthesis, inhibit muscle protein breakdown, promote the synthesis of muscle protein, protect the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract, contribute to better nutrient absorption and stimulate the immune system.

It helps restock liver and muscle glycogen stores and promotes protein synthesis.

1) Maximal endogenous glycogen stores are best promoted by following a high - glycemic, high - carbohydrate (CHO) diet (600 — 1000 grams CHO or ~ 8 — 10 g CHO / kg / d), and ingestion of free amino acids and protein (PRO) alone or in combination with CHO before resistance exercise can maximally stimulate protein synthesis.

But it is also a crucial hormone for promoting protein synthesis, reducing protein degradation (including suppressing cortisol, which can be catabolic in nature), and promoting glucose uptake and glycogen storage in muscle.

In other words, this hormone promotes glucose uptake by the tissues from the blood, glycogen formation, and protein synthesis in the presence of sufficient amino acids (by decreasing catabolism).

Within cells, insulin promotes anabolism (such as synthesis of glycogen, fatty acids, and proteins) and counters catabolic events (reduces gluconeogenesis and inhibits fat and glycogen breakdown).
