The purpose of this study was to compare the oxidation of [13C]glucose (100 g) ingested at rest or during exercise in six trained (TS) and six sedentary (SS) male subjects. The oxidation of plasma glucose was also computed from the volume of 13CO2 and 13C/12C in plasma glucose to compute the oxidation rate of glucose released from the liver and from glycogen stores in periphery (mainly muscle glycogen stores during exercise). At rest, oxidative disposal of both exogenous (8.3 ± 0.3 vs. 6.6 ± 0.8 g/h) and liver glucose (4.4 ± 0.5 vs. 2.6 ± 0.4 g/h) was higher in TS than in SS. This could contribute to the better glucose tolerance observed at rest in TS. During exercise, for the same absolute workload [140 ± 5 W: TS = 47 ± 2.5; SS = 68 ± 3 %maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max)], [13C]glucose oxidation was higher in TS than in SS (39.0 ± 2.6 vs. 33.6 ± 1.2 g/h), whereas both liver glucose (16.8 ± 2.4 vs. 24.0 ± 1.8 g/h) and muscle glycogen oxidation (36.0 ± 3.0 vs. 51.0 ± 5.4 g/h) were lower. For the same relative workload (68 ± 3% VO2 max: TS = 3.13 ± 0.96; SS = 2.34 ± 0.60 l O2/min), exogenous glucose (44.4 ± 1.8 vs. 33.6 ± 1.2 g/h) and muscle glycogen oxidation (73.8 ± 7.2 vs. 51.0 ± 5.4 g/h) were higher in TS. However, despite a higher energy expenditure in TS, liver glucose oxidation was similar in both groups (22.2 ± 3.0 vs. 24.0 ± 1.8 g/h). Thus exogenous glucose oxidation was selectively favored in TS during exercise, reducing both liver glucose and muscle glycogen oxidation.
