Skeletal muscle lipid metabolism in LCR SED, LCR EXT, HCR SED, and HCR EXT. A: complete fatty acid oxidation (¹⁴CO₂ production from labeled palmitate) was measured in soleus muscle during in vitro incubations (data expressed as rates of nmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹; mean ± SE, n = 8–10). B: partial oxidation in soleus muscle as determined by the amount of label in the acid-soluble metabolite (ASM) phase of the muscle and expressed as rates of μmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ (mean ± SE, n = 8–10). C: intramuscular triacylglycerol content was determined in red gastrocnemius on aliquots of freeze-dried/powdered muscle and expressed per gram of dry weight (mean ± SE, n = 9–10). Significant differences between groups (P < 0.05; mean ± SE, n = 8–10) are shown.
