Abstract
Little information is available on energy metabolism during exercise in girls, particularly the contribution of exogenous carbohydrate (CHOexo). The purpose of this study was to determine substrate utilization during exercise with and without CHOexo intake in healthy girls. Twelve-yr-old preadolescent (YG; n = 12) and 14-yr-old adolescent (OG; n = 10) girls consumed flavored water (WT) or 13C-enriched 6% CHO (CT) while cycling for 60 min at ∼70% maximal aerobic power (V̇o2max). Substrate utilization was calculated for the final 15 min of exercise. CHOexo decreased fat oxidation by ∼50% in YG but not in OG ( P < 0.001) and decreased endogenous CHO oxidation by ∼15% in OG but not in YG ( P = 0.006). Endogenous CHO oxidation was lower in YG than in OG regardless of trial ( P ≤ 0.01), whereas fat oxidation was higher in YG only during WT ( P < 0.001). CHOexo oxidation rate was similar between YG and OG (7.1 ± 0.5 and 6.8 ± 0.4 mg·kg−1·min−1, respectively, P = 0.67), contributing ∼19% to total energy expenditure. Serum estradiol levels in all girls correlated with fat ( r = −0.50 to −0.59, P = 0.03 to 0.005) and endogenous CHO oxidation ( r = 0.50 to 0.63, P = 0.03 to 0.005) but not with CHOexo oxidation ( r = −0.09, P = 0.71). We conclude that CHOexo influences endogenous substrate utilization in an age-dependent manner in healthy girls but that total CHOexo oxidation during exercise is not different between YG and OG. Our results also point to potential sex-related differences in energy substrate utilization even during childhood.

Abstract
Substrate utilization during exercise is known to differ between children and adults, but whether these differences are related to pubertal status is unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of pubertal status on endogenous (CHOendo) and orally ingested exogenous (CHOexo) carbohydrate and fat oxidation rates during exercise. Twenty boys at the same chronological age (12 y) were divided into three pubertal groups (pre-pubertal, PP: n = 7; early-pubertal, EP: n = 7; mid- to late-pubertal, M-LP: n = 6) and consumed either a placebo or13C-enriched 6% CHO drink while cycling for 60 min at ~70% of their maximal aerobic power (VO2 max). Another group of 14-year-old boys (pubertal, n = 9) completed all procedures. Substrate utilization was calculated for the final 15 min of exercise using indirect calorimetry and stable isotope methodology. CHOexodecreased fat (p < 0.001) and increased total CHO (p < 0.001) oxidation, irrespective of group. Fat oxidation was higher (p = 0.01) in younger boys than in older boys, but similar (p ≥ 0.33) among PP, EP, and M-LP boys. CHOexocontributed to ~30% of energy expenditure (EE) in PP and EP, but to only 24% in M-LP (p = 0.02), which was identical to the older boys (24%). CHOexooxidation rate as a percentage of EE was inversely related to testosterone levels (r = −0.51, p = 0.005, n = 29). It was concluded that reliance on CHOexoduring exercise is particularly sensitive to pubertal status, with the highest oxidation rates observed in pre- and early-pubertal boys, independent of chronological age.

Abstract
The purpose of the present experiment was to compare 13CO2 recovery at the mouth, and the corresponding exogenous glucose oxidation computed, during a 100-min exercise at 63 +/- 3% maximal O2 uptake with ingestion of glucose (1.75 g/kg) in six active male subjects, by use of [U-13C] and [1,2-13C]glucose. We hypothesized that 13C recovery and exogenous glucose oxidation could be lower with [1,2-13C] than [U-13C]glucose because both tracers provide [13C]acetate, with possible loss of 13C in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, but decarboxylation of pyruvate from [U-13C]glucose also provides 13CO2, which is entirely recovered at the mouth during exercise. The recovery of 13C (25.8 +/- 2.3 and 27.4 +/- 1.2% over the exercise period) and the amounts of exogenous glucose oxidized computed were not significantly different with [1,2-13C] and [U-13C]glucose (28.9 +/- 2.6 and 30.7 +/- 1.3 g, between minutes 40 and 100), suggesting that no significant loss of 13C occurred in the TCA cycle. This stems from the fact that, during exercise, the rate of exogenous glucose oxidation is probably much larger than the flux of the metabolic pathways fueled from TCA cycle intermediates. It is thus unlikely that a significant portion of the 13C entering the TCA cycle could be diverted to these pathways. From a methodological standpoint, this result indicates that when a large amount of [13C]glucose is ingested and oxidized during exercise, 13CO2 production at the mouth accurately reflects the rate of glucose entry in the TCA cycle and that no correction factor is needed to compute the oxidative flux of exogenous glucose.

Abstract
We measured substrate utilization during exercise performed with water (W), exogenous glucose (G), and exogenous fructose plus glucose (FG) ingestion in boys age 10-14 yr. Subjects (n = 12) cycled for 90 min at 55% maximal O(2) uptake while ingesting either W (25 ml/kg), 6% G (1.5 g/kg), or 3% F plus 3% G (1.5 g/kg). Fat oxidation increased during exercise in all trials but was higher in the W (0.28 +/- 0.023 g/min) than in the G (0.24 +/- 0.023 g/min) and FG (0.25 +/- 0.029 g/min) trials (P = 0.04). Conversely, total carbohydrate (CHO) oxidation decreased in all trials and was lower in the W (0.63 +/- 0.05 g/min) than in the G (0.78 +/- 0.051 g/min) and FG (0.74 +/- 0.056 g/min) trials (P = 0.009). Exogenous CHO oxidation, as determined by expired (13)CO(2), reached a maximum of 0.36 +/- 0.032 and 0.31 +/- 0.030 g/min at 90 min in G and FG, respectively (P = 0.04). Plasma insulin levels decrease during exercise in all trials but were twofold higher in G than in W and FG (P < 0.001). Plasma glucose levels decreased transiently after the onset of exercise in all trials and then returned to preexercise values in the W and FG (approximately 4.5 mmol/l) trials but were elevated by approximately 1.0 mmol/l in the G trial (P < 0.001). Plasma lactate concentrations decreased after the onset of exercise in all trials but were lower by approximately 0.5 mmol/l in W than in G and FG (P = 0.02). Thus, in boys exercising at a moderate intensity, the oxidation rate of G plus F is slightly less than G alone, but both spare endogenous CHO and fat to a similar extent. In addition, compared with flavored W, the ingestion of G alone and of G plus F delays exhaustion at 90% peak power by approximately 25 and 40%, respectively, after 90 min of moderate-intensity exercise.

Abstract
This study was intended to compare exogenous [(13)C]glucose (Glu(exo)) oxidation in boys with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and healthy boys of similar age, weight, and maximal O(2) uptake. In a control trial with water intake (CT) and in a (13)C-enriched glucose trial (GT), subjects cycled for 60 min (58.8 +/- 0.9% maximal O(2) uptake) while the utilization of total glucose, total fat, and Glu(exo) was assessed. In CT, total glucose was 84.7 +/- 9.2 vs. 91.3 +/- 6.6 g/60 min (not significantly different) and total fat was 13.3 +/- 2.2 vs. 11.1 +/- 1.7 g/60 min (not significantly different) in IDDM vs. healthy boys, respectively. In GT, Glu(exo) was 10.4 +/- 1.7 vs. 14.8 +/- 1.1 g/60 min, corresponding to 9.0 +/- 1.0 vs. 12.4 +/- 0.5% of the total energy supply in IDDM and healthy boys, respectively (P < 0.05). Endogenous glucose was spared in both groups by 12.6 +/- 3.5% (P < 0.05). Blood glucose and plasma insulin concentrations were two- to threefold higher in IDDM vs. healthy boys in both trials. In conclusion, Glu(exo) is impaired in exercising boys with IDDM, even when plasma insulin levels are elevated.

Abstract
We investigated the ergogenic effect in mice of administering highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD), a new type of glucose polymer, on the swimming endurance in an adjustable-current swimming pool. Male Std ddY mice were administered a HBCD, a glucose solution or water via a stomach sonde 10 min before, 10 min after or 30 min after beginning swimming exercise, and were then obliged to swim in the pool. The total swimming period until exhaustion, an index of the swimming endurance, was measured. An ergogenic effect of HBCD was observed at a dose of 500 mg/kg of body weight, whereas it had no effect at a dose of 166 mg/kg of body wt (p < 0.05). The mice administered with the HBCD solution 10 min after starting the exercise were able to swim significantly longer (p < 0.05) than the mice who had ingested water or the glucose solution. The rise in mean blood glucose level in the mice administered with HBCD, which was measured 20 min after starting swimming, was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than that in the mice administered with glucose, although it was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that in the mice administered with water. The mean blood insulin rise in the mice given HBCD was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than that in the mice given glucose. The mice administered with HBCD 30 min after starting the exercise swam significantly longer (p < 0.05) than the mice who had ingested water, although the enhancement of swimming time was similar to that of the glucose-ingesting mice. The gastric emptying rate of the HBCD solution was significantly faster (p < 0.05) than that of the glucose solution. However, this glucose polymer must have spent more time being absorbed because it has to be hydrolyzed before absorption, reflecting a lower and possibly longer-lasting blood glucose level. We conclude that the prolongation of swimming endurance in mice administered with HBCD depended on its rapid and longer-lasting ability for supplying glucose with a lower postprandial blood insulin response, leading to a delayed onset of fatigue.

Abstract
In this study, an oral glucose load was enriched with a [U-(13)C]glucose tracer to determine differences in substrate utilization between endurance-trained (T) and untrained (UT) subjects during submaximal exercise at the same relative and absolute workload when glucose is ingested. Six highly trained cyclists/triathletes [maximal workload (Wmax), 400 +/- 9 W] and seven UT subjects (Wmax, 296 +/- 8 W) were studied during 120 min of cycling exercise at 50% Wmax ( approximately 55% maximal O(2) consumption). The T subjects performed a second trial at the mean workload of the UT group (148 +/- 4 W). Before exercise, 8.0 ml/kg of a (13)C-enriched glucose solution (80 g/l) was ingested. During exercise, boluses of 2.0 ml/kg of the same solution were administered every 15 min. Measurements were made in the 90- to 120-min period when a steady state was present in breath (13)CO(2) and plasma glucose (13)C enrichment. Energy expenditure was higher in T than in UT subjects (58 vs. 47 kJ/min, respectively; P < 0.001) at the same relative intensity. This was completely accounted for by an increased fat oxidation (0.57 vs. 0.40 g/min; P < 0.01). At the same absolute intensity, fat oxidation contributed more to energy expenditure in the T compared with the UT group (44 vs. 33%, respectively; P < 0.01). The reduction in carbohydrate oxidation in the T group was explained by a diminished oxidation rate of muscle glycogen (indirectly assessed by using tracer methodology at 0.72 +/- 0.1 and 1.03 +/- 0.1 g/min, respectively; P < 0.01) and liver-derived glucose (0.15 +/- 0.03 and 0.22 +/- 0.02 g/min, respectively; P < 0.05). Exogenous glucose oxidation rates were similar during all trials (+/-0.70 g/min).

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the oxidation of [13C]glucose (100 g) ingested at rest or during exercise in six trained (TS) and six sedentary (SS) male subjects. The oxidation of plasma glucose was also computed from the volume of 13CO2 and 13C/12C in plasma glucose to compute the oxidation rate of glucose released from the liver and from glycogen stores in periphery (mainly muscle glycogen stores during exercise). At rest, oxidative disposal of both exogenous (8.3 +/- 0.3 vs. 6.6 +/- 0.8 g/h) and liver glucose (4.4 +/- 0.5 vs. 2.6 +/- 0.4 g/h) was higher in TS than in SS. This could contribute to the better glucose tolerance observed at rest in TS. During exercise, for the same absolute workload [140 +/- 5 W: TS = 47 +/- 2.5; SS = 68 +/- 3 %maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max)], [13C]glucose oxidation was higher in TS than in SS (39.0 +/- 2.6 vs. 33.6 +/- 1.2 g/h), whereas both liver glucose (16.8 +/- 2.4 vs. 24.0 +/- 1.8 g/h) and muscle glycogen oxidation (36.0 +/- 3.0 vs. 51.0 +/- 5.4 g/h) were lower. For the same relative workload (68 +/- 3% VO2 max: TS = 3.13 +/- 0.96; SS = 2.34 +/- 0.60 l O2/min), exogenous glucose (44.4 +/- 1.8 vs. 33.6 +/- 1.2 g/h) and muscle glycogen oxidation (73.8 +/- 7.2 vs. 51.0 +/- 5.4 g/h) were higher in TS. However, despite a higher energy expenditure in TS, liver glucose oxidation was similar in both groups (22.2 +/- 3.0 vs. 24.0 +/- 1.8 g/h). Thus exogenous glucose oxidation was selectively favored in TS during exercise, reducing both liver glucose and muscle glycogen oxidation.

Abstract
Most studies relating to fluid replacement have addressed the problem of drinking during prolonged exercise. Fluid replacement is also very important for intermittent exercise, although it has not been extensively studied. More studies in this area would help coaches and athletes understand the importance of fluid balance and carbohydrate supplementation during intermittent exercise. Based on available data, it can be concluded that: (i) because of high exercise intensity, sweat loss and glycogen depletion during intermittent exercise are at least comparable with those during continuous exercise for a similar period of time. Therefore, the need to ingest a sport drink or replacement beverage during intermittent exercise may be greater than that during continuous exercise in order to maintain a high level of performance and to help prevent the possibility of thermal injury when such activity occurs in a warm environment; (ii) the volume of ingested fluid is critical for both rapid gastric emptying and complete rehydration; and (iii) osmolality (250 to 370 mOsm/kg), carbohydrate concentration (5 to 7%), and carbohydrate type (multiple transportable carbohydrates) should be considered when choosing an effective beverage for rehydration and carbohydrate supplementation during intermittent exercise.
