GLYCOGEN is a stored form of energy produced in the liver Glycogen forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for GLUCOSE when needed by the body for physical activity etc. GlUCOSE is our bodys primary scource of energy. Marathon runners often experience whats known as 'glycogen debt' where around the 20th mile or so, the runner or athletes glycogen stores are depleted due to all the running etc ,therfore little or no more GLUCOSE can be produced to provide instant energy and at this point, the athlete is proper knackered and usually has to stop. BOW!!!
People with McArdle's disease are unable to break glycogen down into glucose, and experience this glycogen debt within 10-30 seconds of moderate physical activity such as jogging or walking up stairs. During glycogen debt, the cell is deprived of an abundant source of glucose, which it cannot metabolize to form ATP for muscular contraction, and as a result, the muscle simply stops responding and fails.

Yes
False, The primary fuel is fatty acids, glycogen is also utilized.

How does exercise increase storage of glycogen and fat?
If the athlete had a fit rich and a poor carbohydrate diet, it would mean that they would have lower muscle glycogen content and a higher rate of fat oxidisation during exercise, when compared with a high carbohydrate low fat diet. The whole effect of such a diet could potentially be a sparing of muscle glycogen, and because muscle glycogen storage is paired up with endurance performance, it is possible that adaptation to a high fat diet could potentially enhance endurance performance. Therefor the athlete could afford to eat fatty things in their diet and be able to use the energy it gives to good use. The athlete would have to perform a lot of endurance exercise so that it does not hinder the performance.
What must a person ingest to achieve protein sparing?
Protein sparing in the body is best achieved when a person ingests adequate levels of carbs and fats. A starving person is losing glycogen, protein, and fat.
Is growth hormone glucose sparing?
No, growth hormone is not glucose sparing. Growth hormone stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen (a form of glucose) in the liver, leading to an increase in blood glucose levels. This increase in blood glucose helps to provide energy for growth and other metabolic processes.

What is a nerve sparing prostatectomy?
A nerve sparing prostatecomy is a treatment for prostate cancer. A normal prostatecomy often takes a wide scale approach to the prostatectomy and so damages many of the nerves in the area. A nerve sparing prostatectomy aims to only remove and effect nerves that are affected.
