Elevation of muscle temperature per se directly facilitates muscle glucose uptake in vitro. Isolated extensor digitorum longus muscles of rats weighing ~60 g were incubated with 2-deoxyglucose for 10 min at 36, 38, 40, or 42 °C for measurements of muscle temperature (a) and glucose uptake (b). Data are expressed as the mean ± SE (n = 3 for a, n = 5 for b). ^# p < 0.05 as compared to the control (36 °C). Temp temperature
