Increased muscle glucose uptake during contractions: no need for insulin

/QUOTE]

Yup. This was subsequently shown to be due to the Glut1 transporter, which mediates insulin-independent uptake of glucose into various tissues. It's basically why the insulin response to glucose is blunted during, and for a while after, exercise and why you should worry a lot more about Poptarts at breakfast than gels during a ride.
