Figure 8.

No difference in hexokinase II (HKII) abundance between male and female mice, regardless of muscle type. A and B: representative images and quantification of HKII (normalized to the Ponceau S band at ∼42 kDa) in the extensor digitorum longus (EDL; A) and soleus (B) of male and female mice; because no effect of genotype or contraction was noted in HKII abundance within each sex, data were combined to test for sex differences in HKII abundance. Dotted line indicates spliced images from gels that have been exposed together for the same duration of time. Statistics: data were analyzed by an unpaired t test. Soleus: male, n = 13; female, n = 15. EDL: male, n = 23; female, n = 17. Data are presented as means ± SE.
