- Abstract
The article discusses a study which is said to be the first to demonstrate that brain glycogen can decrease with prolonged exercise. The researchers show that the decline in levels of this energy source for the brain, in the cortex, during prolonged exercise is linked with activation of monoamine metabolism, which could be a factor causing central fatigue. Four major steps consisting the study are mentioned, one of which involved the examination of these levels with and without anaesthesia.
