The effect of taurine supplementation on maintenance of blood glucose level during prolonged exercise

在本研究中，首次明确补充牛磺酸可抑制长时间运动末期的低血糖，并强烈影响力竭时间的延长。补充牛磺酸可能诱导了糖异生酶的激活，为运动前肝脏糖异生提供了有利条件。推测骨骼肌中的氨基酸可能参与肝脏的糖异生。

In this study, it was first clarified that taurine supplementation inhibited hypoglycemia at the last phase of prolonged exercise and it strongly influenced increment of the exhaustion time. There was a possibility that taurine supplementation induced activation of gluconeogenic enzymes and supplied an available situation for gluconeogenesis in the liver before exercise. It was also speculated that amino acids derived from skeletal muscles might involve the hepatic gluconeogenesis as substrates.
