Glucose transporters play an important role in the metabolism of both humans and animals. These membrane proteins mediate the transport of several substances, such as monosaccharides, inositols, vitamins, and iodide, across the plasma membrane.
This book unravels key physiological responses and adaptations to different redox regulated exercise paradigms at the cell, tissue, and whole-body level in model systems and humans in health and disease.
This edited volume records the critical historical developments in thermal physiology and makes them accessible to new and senior thermal biologists and scientists in related fields. The history of thermal physiology not only is a story about individual outstanding scientists, but a testament for open collaboration and international comradery.
The chapters focus on metabolism during exercise, including anaerobic and aerobic metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism (separate chapters on muscle glycogen and blood glucose), fat metabolism (separate chapters on muscle and adipose tissue) and protein metabolism.
