Table 3.
Lactate concentrations in blood and muscle and muscle glycogen concentration 10 min after saline or DCA administration and immediately after high-intensity interval exercise with pre-exercise saline or DCA administration
| Saline-treated sedentary | Saline-treated exercised | DCA-treated sedentary | DCA-treated exercised | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blood lactate (mmol/L) | 1.46 ± 0.15 | 5.44 ± 0.40*τ | 1.88 ± 0.38 | 4.03 ± 0.24*τ# |
| Muscle lactate (mmol/kg) | No data | 20.84 ± 1.34 | No data | 16.61 ± 1.08# |
| Muscle glycogen (mg/g) | No data | 2.29 ± 0.16 | No data | 2.62 ± 0.23 |
Values are means ± SE (N = 6).
*
τ and # Significant differences from the saline-treated sedentary, the DCA-treated sedentary, and the saline-treated exercised groups, respectively (P < 0.05).
