title: Effects of stretch and starvation on glucose uptake of rat soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles.
abstract: To examine the effects of stretch and starvation on muscle carbohydrate metabolism, glucose uptake was measured using [3H]3-O-methyl-glucose. Glucose uptake was higher in the stretched condition, and more so in soleus muscle than in extensor digitorum longus. After 4 days of starvation, glucose uptake decreased significantly in soleus muscle, but in extensor digitorum longus muscle, glucose uptake per noncollagen protein increased.
