title: Glucose utilization and disposal in cardiothoracic and skeletal muscles during the starved-to-fed transition in the rat.
abstract: Glucose utilization indices (GUI) increased to fed values in diaphragm and oxidative skeletal muscles and exceeded fed values in non-oxidative muscles within 2 h of re-feeding chow to 48 h-starved rats. Cardiac GUI reached fed values only after 7 h. Glycogen deposition accounted for most of the glucose phosphorylated in skeletal muscle over the first 2 h in oxidative muscles and over the first 4 h in non-oxidative muscles. In oxidative muscles, the contribution of glycogen deposition to total glucose 6-phosphate disposal diminished as re-feeding was extended from 2 to 6 h.
