Fig. 2.

Glucose clearance rates (A) from the circulating media were measured in the period prior to and after muscle contraction. *Lean vs. obese; #contraction-induced change. B: glucose transport rates measured by ¹⁴C 2DOG uptake. #Contraction-induced change. C: changes in muscle glycogen were measured in whole gastrocnemius muscle of (▴) lean and (■) obese Zucker rats in resting conditions, immediately after contraction and after 25 min of recovery. †,#Contraction-induced change in both groups. *Lean vs. obese. Metabolites measured in the rested (no contraction) contralateral limbs at the 25-min recovery time point are displayed to show the effects of perfusion on both (▵) lean and (□) obese groups.
