Maximal activity of citrate synthase in the soleus (A), plantaris (B), and tibialis anterior muscle (C) of the mice after treatment with royal jelly (RJ-treated group; black) or distilled water (Control group; white), with or without endurance training for three weeks (Chronic experiment). Values represent mean ± standard error. n = 6–8 per group. #p < 0.05 and ##p < 0.01, main effect of endurance training. **p < 0.01, statistical significance vs the RJ-treated sedentary group. ‡‡p < 0.01, statistical significance between the control sedentary group. n.s.: not significant.
