	CON	eNOS^−/−	nNOS^−/−
SOLEUS
PGC-1β mRNA (arbitrary units)	1.24 ± 0.10	1.54 ± 0.12	1.53 ± 0.17
COX III mRNA (arbitrary units)	1.07 ± 0.10	0.92 ± 0.07	1.08 ± 0.13
Citrate synthase activity (μmol min⁻¹ (g protein)⁻¹)	778 ± 16	924 ± 62^†	1180 ± 41^†^#
EDL
PGC-1β mRNA (arbitrary units)	0.75 ± 0.11	0.85 ± 0.15	1.17 ± 0.21
