Glycomics and Proteomics

Glycogen and Obesity

Glycogen depletion can be forestalled in three possible ways. First, during exercise, carbohydrates with the highest possible rate of conversion to blood glucose are ingested continuously. The best possible outcome of this strategy replaces about 35% of glucose consumed at heart rates above about 80% of maximum. Second, through endurance training adaptations and specialized regimens the body can condition type I muscle fibers to improve both fuel use efficiency and workload capacity to increase the percentage of fatty acids used as fuel, sparing carbohydrate use from all sources. Third, by consuming large quantities of carbohydrates after depleting glycogen stores as a result of exercise or diet, the body can increase storage capacity of intramuscular glycogen stores. Obesity increases the risk of many physical and mental conditions. At an individual level, a combination of excessive food energy intake and a lack of physical activity are thought to explain most cases of obesity. A limited number of cases are due primarily to genetics, medical reasons, or psychiatric illness
