The uptake of glucose into muscle cells is not possible during exercise because activation of the body’s ‘fight-or-flight’ response inhibits both insulin-mediated glucose uptake (IMGU) and non-insulin mediated glucose uptake (NIMGU) pathways which represents the only mechanisms for glucose entry into muscles.

Step 1
During exercise, muscle cells require glucose for energy, and there are two main pathways for glucose uptake: insulin-mediated glucose uptake (IMGU) and non-insulin mediated glucose uptake (NIMGU). Show more…

Many diabetics do not respond to insulin because of a deficiency of insulin receptors on their cells. How does this affect (a) the levels of circulating glucose immediately after a meal and (b) the rate of glycogen synthesis in muscle?
Within insulin-resistant muscle, insulin loses its ability to stimulate the translocation of GLUT4 storage vesicles and glucose uptake.
