Carbohydrate utilization during exercise after high-altitude acclimation: A new perspective
Abstract
At high altitude (HA), carbohydrate (CHO) is thought to be the preferred fuel because of its higher yield of ATP per mole of O2. We used indirect calorimetry and D-[6-3H]glucose infusions to determine total CHO and circulatory glucose utilization during exercise in HA-acclimated and sea level (SL) rats. We hypothesized that the percent contribution of CHO to total metabolism (VO2) is determined by exercise intensity relative to an aerobic …
