Exercise and insulin boosted galactose uptake in older men
A randomized crossover trial in eight healthy men averaging 68 years old found that muscles could directly take up galactose, a sugar.A randomized crossover trial in eight healthy men averaging 68 years old found that muscles could directly take up galactose, a sugar.
Randomized trial · 8 peopleInsulin
Who was studied8 healthy older men, 4 h, against non-exercised legs during saline infusion
What changedMuscle galactose uptake rose with exercise plus insulin: 0.15 versus 0.01 µmol/100 g/min without exercise or insulin
The catchTracer-based uptake estimates used an assumed correction factor rather than a muscle-validated value
