muscle contraction during exercise is essential for sports performance in events lasting …

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 …

Ketosis, the metabolic response to energy crisis, is a mechanism to sustain life by altering
oxidative fuel selection. Often overlooked for its metabolic potential, ketosis is poorly …

BACKGROUND. l-Carnitine, an abundant nutrient in red meat, accelerates atherosclerosis
in mice via gut microbiota–dependent formation of trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine …

Since the introduction of the muscle biopsy technique in the late 1960s, our understanding
of the regulation of muscle glycogen storage and metabolism has advanced considerably …

A strong foundation in physical conditioning and sport-specific experience, in addition to a
bespoke and periodized training and nutrition program, are essential for athlete …

Fat and carbohydrate are important fuels for aerobic exercise and there can be reciprocal
shifts in the proportions of carbohydrate and fat that are oxidized. The interaction between …

Background Sports nutrition is a constantly evolving field with hundreds of research papers

Carnitine acyltransferases catalyze the reversible transfer of acyl groups from acyl‐
coenzyme A esters to l‐carnitine, forming acyl‐carnitine esters that may be transported …

This review summarizes how fatty acid (FA) oxidation is regulated in skeletal muscle during
exercise. From the available evidence it seems that acetyl-CoA availability in the …
