Utilization of glucose during exercise in relation of meal-timing.
The effect of glucose administration was studied on its utilization during exercise carried out in the hours 500-700, 1100-1300, 1700-1900, 2300-100. The control group comprised animals at rest which had one or two glucose loads. Circadian variability of blood glucose level was observed in response to glycaemic stimulation in control animals. In the animals during exercise the circadian changes of glucose level depended on the time after glucose administration and the duration of exercise. Glucose utilization during exercise was not identical at various times of the 24-hour period. The greatest fall of blood glucose was observed at 1800 after one as well as after two glucose loads. Glucose administration after one hour of exercise prevented hypoglycaemia development.
