Sucrose-induced metabolic syndrome differentially affects energy metabolism and fiber phenotype of EDL and soleus muscles during exercise in the rat.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular mechanisms associated to improvement of metabolic syndrome (MetS) during exercise are not fully elucidated. MetS was induced in 250 g male Wistar rats by 30% sucrose in drinking water. Control rats receiving tap water were controls, both groups received solid standard diet. After 14 weeks, an endurance exercised group, and a sedentary were formed for 8 weeks. The soleus and extensor digitorum longus...
