Abstract
- The effects of training and/or testosterone treatment on glycogen content and the activities of glycogen synthase, glycogen phosphorylase, and fructose-6-phosphate kinase were studied in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus muscles of intact adult female rats. One group of rats remained sedentary, whereas another group was trained for 7 weeks. Thereafter, both the sedentary and trained rats were subdivided into two control and four testosterone-treated subgroups. Testosterone was administered by a silastic implant. Training was continued for 2 weeks. On the final day of the experiment rats from one trained control and one trained testosterone-treated subgroup ran for 60 min submaximally. Upon testosterone treatment of sedentary rats the glycogen concentration was not changed. However, in the soleus, but not in the EDL, the glycogen content was increased by training (P
