Effects of exercise followed by a low-carbohydrate diet on peak fat oxidation and mitochondrial coupling control and efficiency in healthy trained men.

Whole-body fat oxidation correlates with mitochondrial oxidative capacity, emphasizing the role of mitochondrial function in systemic and skeletal muscle substrate utilization during exercise - a relationship that may be modulated by the prevailing fuel availability. Muscle glycogen is an important fuel during exercise...
