What you will learn

  • Describe how a single bout of exercise enhances insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle
  • Explain how consuming a high-carbohydrate diet after exercise accelerates the reversal of exercise-induced improvements in insulin sensitivity
  • Discuss the potential role of increased glucose flux through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway in regulating postexercise insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
