Mice muscle force. Ex vivo force measurements of the m. extensor digitorum longus (EDL). (a) Dry weight (ANOVA P = 0.04). (b) Peak tetanic muscle tensions (ANOVA P ≤ 0.01). (c) Recovery from fatigue after 10 min, as percentage of initial muscle force (ANOVA P ≤ 0.01). White, healthy lean mice, pair‐fed (n = 17); dark gray, fed lean CLP mice (n = 15); white dotted, healthy obese mice, pair‐fed (n = 15); dark gray dotted, fed obese CLP mice (n = 15). [CLP: cecal ligation and puncture, ctrl: healthy control animals, PF, pair‐fed, fed: parenterally fed]
