Red gastrocnemius muscle glycogen content (a), white gastrocnemius muscle glycogen content (b), soleus muscle SCHAD activity (c), and red vastus lateralis muscle citrate synthase activity (d). (a) Mean red gastrocnemius muscle glycogen content (g/100 g tissue). Data is presented as . No differences were observed between groups. (b) Mean white gastrocnemius muscle glycogen content (g/100 g tissue). Data is presented as . α denotes a significant difference between DS and CS. β denotes a significant difference between DS and DT. A difference between DS and CT approached significance (). (c) Mean soleus muscle SCHAD activity (μmol·g wet wt-1·min-1). Data is presented as . No differences were observed between groups. (d) Mean red vastus lateralis muscle citrate synthase activity (nmol/min/μg). Data is presented as . # denotes a significant difference between T1DM and control animals. Abbreviations: CS: citrate synthase; RT: resistance training; SCHAD: short-chain β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase; T1DM: type 1 diabetes mellitus; wt: weight.
