	abstract = {The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of a carbohydrate-rich meal on post-prandial metabolic responses and skeletal muscle glycogen concentration. After an overnight fast, eight male recreational/club endurance runners ingested a carbohydrate (CHO) meal (2.5 g CHO - kg-1 body mass) and biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle before and 3 h after the meal. Ingestion of the meal resulted in a 10.6 {\textpm} 2.5\% (P \&lt; 0.05) increase in muscle glycogen concentration (pre-meal vs post-meal: 314.0 {\textpm} 33.9 vs 347.3 {\textpm} 31.3 mmol {\textperiodcentered} kg-1 dry weight). Three hours after ingestion, mean serum insulin concentrations had not returned to pre-feeding values (0 min vs 180 min: 45 {\textpm} 4 vs 143 {\textpm} 21 pmol {\textperiodcentered} 1-1). On a separate occasion, six similar individuals ingested the meal or fasted for a further 3 h during which time expired air samples were collected to estimate the amount of carbohydrate oxidized over the 3 h post-prandial period. It was estimated that about 20\% of the carbohydrate consumed was converted into muscle glycogen, and about 12\% was oxidized. We conclude that a meal providing 2.5 g CHO {\textperiodcentered} kg-1 body mass can increase muscle glycogen stores 3 h after ingestion. However, an estimated 67\% of the carbohydrate ingested was unaccounted for and this may have been stored as liver glycogen and/or still be in the gastrointestinal tract. {\textcopyright} 2004 Taylor \&amp; Francis Ltd.},
