Acyl-carnitine metabolites 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: †,#Increased after recovery. *Obese vs. lean. B: †,#Contraction-induced change increased (#) during recovery. C: †,#Contraction-induced change continued to increase (#) during recovery period. D: †,#Increased during the 25-min recovery period. 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. Both long- and medium-chain acylcarnitines increased in the rested limb of the obese but not the lean group. Significance was set at P < 0.05; Values are expressed as means ± SE.
