| Abstract: | - 1.1. In oxidative (soleus) and glycolytic (extensor digitorum longus) muscles of obese Zucker rats, a significant decrease in the percentage of relative area occupied by glycolytic fibers was observed.
- 2.2. The activity of citrate synthase and β-hydroxy-acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase was significantly higher in muscles of obese than of lean Zucker rats.
- 3.3. In rats, 6 weeks after lesion of the ventromedial hypothalamus, no changes were observed.
- 4.4. This indicates that neither the proportion of oxidative fibers, nor the oxidative capacities are decreased in skeletal muscles of obese rats suggesting that insulin resistance cannot be ascribed to a higher glycolytic-oxidative fiber ratio.
