Enzyme activities in skeletal muscle.

Enzyme activities are expressed as: hexokinase (HK) (Units/g protein), Glycogenin (GNG) (nanomol UDP-glucose/g protein · min), glycogen synthase total (GS-H) (nanomol UDP-glucose/mg protein · min), glycogen phosphorylase total activity (GPh total) and glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) (µmol Glucose-1-P/mg protein · min). Ratio GS-L/H is the ratio of the GS activity measured with low glc-6P (L) over GS measured with high glc-6P (H). Ratio GPh-a/total is the ratio of the GPh activity measured without (a) over with AMP (total). Data are means ± SE. Control group was composed with the pool of all contralateral non-stimulated muscle samples (n = 50), except for branching enzyme (n = 10). n = 5 for the stimulated and rested groups, except for branching enzyme (n = 3).*: p$: p+: p
