Cardiopulmonary and skeletal muscle strategies underlying exhaustive exercise in adults with glycogen storage disease type III People with glycogen storage disease type III (GSDIII-p) have a remarkably reduced exercise tolerance. Aim of this study was to analyze the oxygen transport-utilization chain strategies adopted by…

Adults with #glycogen storage #disease type III show #exercise intolerance. This analysis finds that this reduced exercise tolerance relates to #respiratory and skeletal muscle inefficiencies.

Glycogen as the Hidden Growth Battery 🔋

Glycogen is the hidden growth battery inside your muscle tissue, stored carbohydrate that fuels the kind of training that actually builds size.

Glycogen is the Hidden Growth Battery 🔋🪫

Consistent, digestible carbs are what keep training quality high and growth moving forward.

Pre-workout: white rice, fruit, rice cakes

Post-workout: rice, potatoes, fruit

Rest days: oats, sweet potatoes, whole grains

The Hour-by-Hour Timeline: What Happens to Your Body During Intermittent Fasting In today's episode we're diving deep into the biological changes of fasting. We explore how your body switches from burning sugar to burning fat between hours 12 and 16.  You’ll learn when cellular cleanup, known as autophagy, begins to recycle damaged proteins. We also cover the surge in Human Growth Hormone that protects your muscles and why the "fasting high" occurs during extended periods. This hour-by-hour guide explains exactly what is happening beneath the surface to optimize your metabolic health.

Rest Day Nutrition is not Optional 🥗

Training provides the signal, but nutrition supplies the raw materials that determine whether your body adapts, stalls, or breaks down.

➡️ Post Workout Recovery: Glycogen + Protein Rebuild 💪

When you combine protein and carbohydrates after a workout, you’re giving your body the two essential resources.

72 Hours to a New You? The Science-Backed Truth About Water Fasting (Plus, Critical Safety Tips!) In today's episode we're exploring the intriguing science behind a 3-day water fast. Learn what happens when you consume only plain water for 72 hours, from initial glycogen depletion to profound cellular cleanup (autophagy) and increased Human Growth Hormone production. We'll reveal science-backed benefits like improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced mental clarity, and reduced bad cholesterol. Crucially, we also discuss the significant risks, who should never attempt it, common side effects, and the vital role of electrolytes. Get practical advice on preparation and safely breaking your fast to ensure a healing, not harming, experience.

I am approaching my 3rd week eating one meal a day! No weighing of food, counting calories, screw the macros !
The science behind #Insulin and #Glycogen
In our bodies is truly enlightening !
I have more energy, I am more alert, and I sleep better !

Hello everyone!

We are finally here on #BlueSky and excited to connect with the growing scientific community here! We are based in Copenhagen at the NNF-CBMR, University of Copenhagen @ucph.bsky.social and are a #MetabolicSignaling laboratory interested in everything #AMPK #TFEB #SIK #Glycogen

Glycogenin is dispensable for normal liver glycogen metabolism and body glucose homeostasis Glycogen is a glucose-storage polysaccharide molecule present in animals, fungi and bacteria. The enzyme glycogenin can self-glycosylate, forming an o…

🆕 We start the year with a new article! We reveal that glycogenin is not required for the formation of glycogen α particles or normal liver-glycogen metabolism, challenging previous beliefs.
