Glucose ingestion during exercise blunts the increase in plasma free fatty acid levels.
Glucose intake during exercise may limit fat utilization by affecting FFA levels.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Plasma FFA concentration increased during exercise (P < 0.01) in the fasted state but remained unchanged after glucose ingestion.
Why this rating
