Phosphorylation of p70S6KThr389 is similar in both low and normal glycogen conditions following resistance exercise.
Resistance training outcomes may not be adversely affected by low glycogen levels in terms of key signaling pathways.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Despite disparity in muscle glycogen there were similar S6KThr389 phosphorylation responses in NORM and LOW 1 h post-exercise.
