Muscle metabolism determines how skeletal muscle produces, stores, and uses energy during rest and exercise. Explore ATP production, muscle glycogen, glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial metabolism, amino acid metabolism, insulin signaling, AMPK, muscle protein synthesis, and metabolic flexibility.

Muscle glycogen provides skeletal muscle with a readily available source of carbohydrate energy during exercise and daily activity. Discover how glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, insulin signaling, GLUT4, nutrition, and exercise regulate muscle glycogen storage and utilization.
