Differences in exercise capacity and muscle glycogen metabolism in C57BL/6J and BALB/cA mice
This study compared differences in exercise capacity as well as muscle glycogen content and degradation, and mitochondrial enzyme activity between C57BL/6J and BALB/cA mice. In exercise tests, grip strength was higher in BALB/cA mice. In Rotarod and Inverted screen test, C57BL/6J mice had significantly longer exercise durations and showed differences in motor function and muscle endurance time. Glycogen in the liver and muscle of C57BL/6J mice was significantly decreased after 20 minutes of swimming. Muscle glycogen content in BALB/cA mice was higher than in C57BL/6J, but swimming induced no decrease in glycogen content. G...
