Energy metabolism of small muscle phenotype mice compared to inbred strains in response to exercise
Meeting Abstract 36.3 Friday, Jan. 4 Energy metabolism of small muscle phenotype mice compared to inbred strains in response to exercise MIDDLETON, KM*; COATS, BR; University of Missouri; University of Chicago middletonk@missouri.edu In recent years, studies of the skeletal system have revealed that it occupies a central role in whole-organism energy regulation via interactions with the autonomic […]
Direct measurement of starvation-induced shifts in endogenous fuel oxidation in mice
Meeting Abstract 36.4 Friday, Jan. 4 Direct measurement of starvation-induced shifts in endogenous fuel oxidation in mice MCCUE, M.D.; St. Mary’s Univ mmccue1@stmarytx.edu Fasting animals typically switch from one metabolic substrate to another in the order of carbohydrates, lipids, and then proteins. The timing of these physiological transitions are traditionally estimated using indirect measures of substrate oxidation […]
