Abstract

The processes that govern glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis have been extensively researched over the last 60 years. This body of research has vastly improved our understanding of the two key metabolic fates for glucose in skeletal muscle: (1) anaerobic and aerobic glycolysis; and (2) insulin-mediated glucose uptake in the context of improved glucose control.
