    Abstract:
    The extent to which an oral load of glucose is absorbed from the gut and oxidized during prolonged exercise is a matter of controversy. Four healthy volunteers, 18-28 yr, were submitted on 4 different days to a 105-min treadmill exercise at 22, 39, 51, and 64% of their individual VO2max. After 15 min adaptation to exercise, they received orally 100 g naturally labeled [13C]glucose. Oxidation of the exogenous glucose was followed by 13CO2 measurements in the expired air; total carbohydrate and lipid oxidation were evaluated by indirect calorimetry. Between 22 and 51% VO2 max, total carbohydrate, lipid oxidation, and exogenous glucose oxidation were linearly correlated with the relative work load (r = 0.81; P less than 0.01). Between 51 and 64% VO2 max, exogenous glucose oxidation and lipid oxidation tended to level off, whereas endogenous carbohydrate oxidation was markedly enhanced. The lesser contribution of exogenous glucose during the most intense exercise might be due to a decrease in the oxidation in the muscles or to a lesser availability of this exogenous glucose.
