The continual supply of ATP to the fundamental cellular processes that underpin skeletal
muscle contraction during exercise is essential for sports performance in events lasting …

Repeated, episodic bouts of skeletal muscle contraction undertaken frequently as structured
exercise training are a potent stimulus for physiological adaptation in many organs …

Glucose is an important fuel for contracting muscle, and normal glucose metabolism is vital
for health. Glucose enters the muscle cell via facilitated diffusion through the GLUT4 glucose …

The function and survival of all organisms is dependent on the dynamic control of energy
metabolism, when energy demand is matched to energy supply. The AMP-activated protein …

Skeletal muscle possesses a remarkable ability to adapt to various physiologic conditions.
AMPK is a sensor of intracellular energy status that maintains energy stores by fine-tuning …

For decades, exercise has been consid-ered a cornerstone of diabetes management, along
with diet and medication. However, high-quality evidence on the importance of exercise and …

All cells must maintain a high ratio of cellular ATP: ADP to survive. Because of the adenylate
kinase reaction (2ADP↔ ATP+ AMP), AMP rises whenever the ATP: ADP ratio falls, and a …

Skeletal muscle is a malleable tissue capable of altering the type and amount of protein in
response to disruptions to cellular homeostasis. The process of exerciseinduced adaptation …

Since the lipid profile is altered by physical activity, the study of lipid metabolism is a
remarkable element in understanding if and how physical activity affects the health of both …

Resistance exercise is a potent stimulator of muscle protein synthesis and muscle cell
growth, with the increase in protein synthesis being detected within 2–3 h post‐exercise and …
