Glucose uptake during exercise in different muscles of quadriceps femoris at different exercise intensities.

<p>Mean glucose uptake and its heterogeneity in the four individual muscles are shown in panels A and B, respectively. RF – m. rectus femoris, VL – m. vastus lateralis, VM – m. vastus medialis, VI – m. vastus intermedius. No interaction between intensity and muscle was found in ANOVA, but both main effects (intensity and muscle) were significant and the following pair-wise differences were found: *p<0.05 and ***p<0.001 compared to LOW intensity, †p<0.05 compared to MODERATE intensity, and ‡‡p<0.01 and ‡‡‡p<0.001 compared to RF muscle. White, grey and black bars represent LOW, MODERATE and HIGH exercise intensities, respectively.
