According to recent research from Australia, "An acute bout of exercise increases skeletal muscle glucose uptake, improves glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, and enhances muscle oxidative capacity. Recent studies have shown an as association between these adaptations and the energy-sensing 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the activity of which is increased in response to exercise."
"Activation of AMPK hash been associated with enhanced expression of key metabolic proteins such as GLLITT-4, hexokinase II (HKII), and mitochondrial enzymes, similar to...
