This is such a cool study and illustrates the complex nature and time course of post-exercise glycogen replenishment. Researchers had well-trained cyclists ride to glycogen depletion, then either fast for 12 hours or consume a massive 10 g/kg of carbs in the 12 hours

Timely piece from @BrianElliottMD1 @jbcarmody to quantify the academic arms race of medical student publications in the era of P/F Step 1. The raw # of items may have become the target rather than fewer, higher quality works. Is the solution to limit # of research items on ERAS?
