Results demonstrate that DPOST animals experienced reductions in BG following 30 and 60 min of AE compared to pre-exercise. Both DPRE and DPOST animals exhibited lower hepatic glycogen content, while muscle glycogen did not differ, suggesting impaired glycogenolysis in T1DM. Hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase content, and muscle and hepatic protein kinase B phosphorylation were significantly greater in DPOST animals, suggesting elevated gluconeogenesis and insulin stimulation during exercise. Glycogen phosphorylase activity did not differ between groups.
