Re: [fast5] Re: Exercise and Fast 5



You got it in one!  But I guess if you're an MD you have to be able to justify it polysyllabically ;-)

I can hardly understand what that techinical language means, LOL. "insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis " and "insulin-stimulated glucose transport phosphorylation" Sorry, I just have to laugh. I assume it means that if you exercise you won't get diabetes so easily....

This has been demonstrated in both short-term and long-term studies with a variety of populations (young, old, obese, athletes, subjects with normal and impaired glucose tolerance, and frank type 2 diabetes). For instance one study observed the effect of exercise in the offspring of parents with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It showed that exercise increases insulin sensitivity in both normal subjects and the insulin-resistant offspring of diabetic parents secondary to a twofold increase in insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis in muscle, due to an increase in insulin-stimulated glucose transport phosphorylation. Improvements in glucose disposal with exercise have been shown to be independent of initial body mass and age. These improvements are lost 60-72 hours after the last exercise session and therefore it is better to exercise daily."
