Oral ketone monoester ingestion reduces circulating blood glucose, exogenous carbohydrate oxidation and oxidation efficiency in trained male cyclists when fed 120 g of CHO per hour during exercise

ABSTRACT:

We examined the effects of ketone monoester (KME) and carbohydrate (CHO) co-ingestion on exogenous CHO oxidation, metabolomic responses and exercise capacity. In a randomised repeated-measures design (after a 36 h CHO loading protocol and pre-exercise meal of 12 and 2 g.kg-1, respectively), eight trained male cyclists ingested 0 g.h-1 (PLA), 120 g.h-1 CHO (CHO) or 75 g ketone monoester + 120 g.h-1 CHO (CHO + KME) during 3 h of cycling at 95 % of lactate threshold (LT) followed by exercise to exhaustion at 150 % LT. Mean blood glucose concentrations during exercise were different between all pairwise comparisons (P<0.05) such that CHO > CHO + KME > PLA (4.90 ± 0.30, 4.36 ± 0.23, 3.68 ± 0.39 mmol.L-1, respectively). Mean exogenous CHO oxidation (1.35 ± 0.15 vs 1.50 ± 0.16 g.min-1, P<0.01) and oxidation efficiency was lower in CHO + KME (67 ± 7 %) compared to CHO (75 ± 6%, P <0.01). Exercise capacity was greater (P<0.01) in CHO (349 ± 189 s) and CHO + KME (319 ± 225 s) compared to PLA (75 ± 105 s), though no differences were evident between CHO and CHO+KME (P > 0.99). Untargeted metabolomics also provide novel data by demonstrating that ketone monoester ingestion increased abundance of metabolites associated with carbohydrate metabolism (Glucaric acid) and protein turnover (3-Methylhistidine). In conditions considered representative of high CHO availability during exercise, we conclude that ketone monoester ingestion reduces blood glucose concentrations, exogenous CHO oxidation and oxidation efficiency when compared to CHO alone.

Project description:We aimed to investigate the human skeletal muscle (SkM) DNA methylome after exercise in low carbohydrate (CHO) energy balance (with high fat) compared with exercise in low-CHO energy deficit (with low fat) conditions. The objective to identify novel epigenetically regulated genes and pathways associated with ‘train-low sleep-low’ paradigms. The sleep-low conditions included 9 males that cycled to deplete muscle glycogen while reaching a set energy expenditure. Post-exercise, low-CHO meals (protein-matched) completely replaced (using high-fat) or only partially replaced (low-fat) the energy expended. The following morning resting baseline biopsies were taken and the participants then undertook 75 minutes of cycling exercise, with skeletal muscle biopsies collected 30 minutes and 3.5 hours post exercise. Discovery of genome-wide DNA methylation was undertaken using Illumina EPIC arrays and targeted gene expression analysis was conducted by RT-qPCR. At baseline participants under energy balance (high fat) demonstrated a predominantly hypermethylated (60%) profile across the genome compared to energy deficit-low fat conditions. However, post exercise performed in energy balance (with high fat) elicited a more prominent hypomethylation signature 30 minutes post-exercise in gene regulatory regions important for transcription (CpG islands within promoter regions) compared with exercise in energy deficit (with low fat) conditions. Such hypomethylation was enriched within pathways related to: IL6-JAK-STAT signalling, metabolic processes, p53 / cell cycle and oxidative / fatty acid metabolism. Hypomethylation within the promoter regions of genes: HDAC2, MECR, IGF2 and c13orf16 were associated with significant increases in gene expression in the post-exercise period in energy balance compared with energy deficit. Furthermore, histone deacetylase, HDAC11 was oppositely regulated at the gene expression level compared with HDAC2, where HDAC11 was hypomethylated yet increased in energy deficit compared with energy balance conditions. Overall, we identify some novel epigenetically regulated genes associated with train-low sleep-low paradigms.

Project description:Protein-leucine supplement ingestion following strenuous endurance exercise accentuates skeletal-muscle protein synthesis and adaptive molecular responses, but the underlying transcriptome is uncharacterized. In a randomized single-blind triple-crossover design, 12 trained men completed 100 min of high-intensity cycling then ingested either 70/15/180/30g protein/leucine/carbohydrate/fat (15LEU), 23/5/180/30g (5LEU) or 0/0/274/30g (CON) beverages during the first 90 min of a 240-min recovery period. Vastus lateralis muscle samples (30 and 240-min post-exercise) underwent transcriptome analysis by microarray followed by bioinformatic analysis. Gene expression was regulated by Protein-leucine in a dose-dependent manner impacting the inflammatory response, muscle growth and development. At 30 min, 15LEU and 5LEU vs. CON activated transcriptome networks with geneset functions involving cell-cycle arrest (Z-score 2.0-2.7; P<0.01), leukocyte maturation (1.7; P=0.007), cell viability (2.4; P=0.005), promyogenic networks encompassing myocyte differentiation and myogenin (MYOD1, MYOG), and a proteinaceous extracellular matrix, adhesion, and development programme correlated with plasma lysine, arginine, tyrosine, taurine, glutamic acid, and asparagine concentrations. High protein-leucine dose (15LEU-5LEU) activated an IL1b-centered proinflammatory network and leukocyte migration, differentiation, and survival functions (2.0-2.6; <0.001). By 240 min, the protein-leucine transcriptome was anti-inflammatory and promyogenic (IL-6, NF-kÎ², SMAD, STAT3 network inhibition), with overrepresented functions including decreased leukocyte migration and connective tissue development (-1.8-2.4; P<0.01), increased apoptosis of myeloid and muscle cells (2.2-3.0; P<0.002) and cell metabolism (2.0-2.4; P<0.01). The analysis suggests protein-leucine ingestion modulates inflammatory-myogenic regenerative processes during skeletal muscle recovery from endurance exercise. Further cellular and translational research is warranted to validate amino acid-mediated myeloid and myocellular mechanisms within skeletal-muscle functional plasticity.
