Estrogen modulates neural control of muscle glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
Exogenously administered estrogens can enhance the rate of increase of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in rat extensor digitorum longus muscles following denervation. In this communication, we report that the effect of denervation on glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity is modified by variations in endogenous estradiol during the estrous cycle.
