Feeding the mice with the docosahexaenoic acid‐enriched diet prior to 48 h fasting resulted in increased glycogen contents and an improved energy status in the fasted muscles. Levels of glycogen (A) and triglycerides (B), and the adenosine monophosphate/triphosphate ratio (C), were determined in muscles from control or docosahexaenoic acid groups. Data are means ± SEM (n = 4–6 mice/group). Statistical differences were assessed by analysis of variance. Bars with different superscript letters are statistically different.
