Changes in IMTG, DAG, LCACoA, and 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. A: *Obese vs. lean; #contraction-induced change. B: †,#Elevated after 25 min of recovery. C: †Contraction-induced change. 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 (Δ) and obese (□) groups. Significance was set at P < 0.05; values are expressed as means ± SE.
