Leucine-Rich Diet and Light Aerobic Training Modulate GLUT4 Expression And Increase the Glycogen Content in the Gastrocnemius Muscle of Walker-256 Tumour-Bearing Rats

The intense mobilisation of substrates during cancer induces the loss of body mass, which mainly results from the depletion of muscle protein due to increased proteolysis and/or decreased protein synthesis, leading to cachexia. Leucine is also used as an energy source and as a cell-signalling molecule by skeletal muscle. Additionally, physical activity increases glucose consumption, which reduces the levels of circulati... view more»
