| Abstract: | 1. 3-O-methylglucose uptake was studied after immobilization in rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (Sol) muscles. 2. The immobilization of the ankle was done in one of extreme positions by plaster casts. 3. In both positions, 3-O-methylglucose uptake in EDL increased and that in Sol decreased after immobilization. 4. When immobilization was released uptake returned to control level. 5. The change in uptake after immobilization and after release of immobilization was earlier in Sol. |
