Notes:
Summary RQ, plasma insulin, blood glucose, lactate and pyruvate were measured in six fit, normal subjects during a series of exercise and rest experiments with and without sucrose ingestion. Subjects exercised on a bicycle ergometer for 50 min of every hour for 6 h at about 47% of the group's average maximal aerobic capacity. In the resting experiments, the subjects sat for 6 h in an armchair. A solution containing 100 g of sucrose was ingested at the beginning of the fourth hour during the sucrose experiments. Ingestion of sucrose caused a significant increase in RQ, plasma insulin, blood glucose, lactate and pyruvate in both exercise and rest experiments. Insulin, lactate and pyruvate concentrations rose higher during rest after sucrose ingestion than during exercise. The time courses of the changes in RQ, insulin, glucose, lactate and pyruvate after sucrose ingestion, suggest that glucose entering the cell during rest is immediately oxidized, while during work there is some delay in the oxidation of glucose.
