Neuroscience News – “Special” Muscle Can Promote Glucose and Fat Burning to Fuel Metabolism for Hours While Sitting

A soleus workout, new research has shown, can effectively elevate muscle metabolism for hours, even while sitting.

Published in the journal iScience, Hamilton’s research suggests the soleus ability to sustain an elevated oxidative metabolism to improve the regulation of blood glucose is more effective than any popular methods currently touted as a solution including exercise, weight loss and intermittent fasting. Oxidative metabolism is the process by which oxygen is used to burn metabolites like blood glucose or fats, but it depends, in part, on the immediate energy needs of the muscle when it’s working.

“We never dreamed that this muscle has this type of capacity. It’s been inside our bodies all along, but no one ever investigated how to use it to optimize our health, until now,” said Hamilton.

“When activated correctly, the soleus muscle can raise local oxidative metabolism to high levels for hours, not just minutes, and does so by using a different fuel mixture.”
