FIGURE 2.

Effects of the overexpression of WT LGS and activated mutant LGS on glycogen content in rat liver and muscle. A, liver glycogen content (mg/g of liver) measured in rats overexpressing β-gal, WT LGS, or mutant LGS. B, muscle glycogen content (mg/g of muscle) determined in the same animals. In all cases, data represent the mean ± S.E. (error bars) of the following: seven fasted and seven fed β-gal-overexpressing rats; five fasted and six fed WT LGS-overexpressing rats; and five fasted and five fed mutant LGS-overexpressing rats. * or **, statistical difference for comparisons with β-gal group at the same metabolic state with p < 0.05 or p < 0.005, respectively.
