What regulates glucose uptake during exercise? Is it really AMPK??

From Episode 65 of Inside Exercise podcast.
Dr Glenn McConell chats with his great collaborator Professor Erik Richter from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Erik is an absolute authority and the godfather of the field of glucose metabolism during exercise and how exercise increases insulin sensitivity in muscle. He was the first to show that contraction can increase muscle glucose uptake without insulin but at the same time exercise increases insulin sensitivity. Very relevant for all including people with diabetes. We talked about how exercise increases glucose uptake during exercise and how it increases insulin sensitivity after exercise. Limitations of determining insulin sensitivity using the
"gold standard" euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp vs meals. We also talked a little about how exercise can reduce appetite (GLP1 and lactate) . A very interesting, fun chat. Twitter: @proferikrichter. #exercise #insulin #metabolism #diabetes #appetite #GLP1 #glucose
