Figure 6. Glycogen resynthesis is slower at low temperature.

Figure 6

Mean data (± SEM) of muscle glycogen content before (PRE), after (POST), and after 30 min recovery at 26°C (blue bars) and 36°C (red bars) with repeated stimulation that caused moderate (A) and severe glycogen depletion (B). One‐way ANOVA showed significant differences over time for the moderate (P = 0.0038, n = 5) and severe glycogen depletion protocol (P < 0.0001, n = 6); *Significantly different from PRE (P < 0.005) with Sidak's post hoc test. Muscle glycogen returned to PRE values following recovery from moderate glycogen depletion at 26°C and 36°C, whereas muscle glycogen content was restored to PRE values at 36°C but not at 26°C following the severe glycogen depletion.
