Document Summary
Normally, each 100 g of muscle contains about 1. 7g of glycogen. Carbohydrate loading packs up to 5 g of glycogen per 100 g of skeletal muscle. Reduce the msucle"s glycogen content with prolonged exercise. Maintain a low-carbohydrate diet (about 60-100 g/day) for several days. Glycogen depletion increases formation of glycogen-storing enzyme glycogen synthase in the muscle. 3 days prior to competition, switch to a high-carbohydrate diet (400-700 g/day) Only benefits intense aerobic activities lasting > 60 minutes. Causes a person to feel heavy due to the addition of 2. 7 gof water w/ each gram of glycogen stored. The use of amino acid supplements boosts the body"s natural production of anabolic hormones fiction. Research on healthy subjects does not provide evidence for an ergogenic effect of a general dietary increase of amino acid supplements on. A short chain carboxylic acid containing nitrogen. Found mostly in meat and dairy products. Liver and kidney synthesize l-carnitine from methionine and lysine.
