Glucose ingestion during exercise decreases the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism.
Practitioners should consider that glucose ingestion during exercise may hinder fat metabolism.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
glucose ingestion resulted in a decrease in the expression of genes involved in fatty acid transport and oxidation (CD36, carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1, uncoupling protein 3, and 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase-alpha(2); P < 0.05)
