The Claim

In isolated hepatocytes from female Wistar rats, 10 weeks of endurance training at 30 m/min on a 10% incline for 90 minutes, 5 days per week, is associated with a 69% higher basal gluconeogenesis rate from 6 mM lactate, measured as 97.2 ± 6.7 nmol glucose/mg protein in trained cells versus 57.6 ± 8.7 nmol/mg protein in untrained controls after a 24-hour fast, indicating a persistent metabolic adaptation that enhances glucose production capacity independent of hormonal stimulation.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

Challenges
0score

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Quantitative
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Female rats that did treadmill training for 10 weeks made more glucose in their liver cells, even when resting and without hormones, compared to rats that didn’t train.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Enhanced glucose production in norepinephrine and palmitate stimulated hepatocytes following endurance training

    The study found that liver cells from rats that did endurance training made more glucose from lactate than cells from untrained rats, even without hormones, which matches what the claim says.
