From 1 to 14 days after denervation, glucose uptake in the fast extensor digitorum longus and slow soleus muscles in rats was investigated and compared with that of the corresponding intact contralateral muscles. Denervation-induced atrophy in soleus was greater than that in extensor digitorum longus muscle. Glucose uptake in extensor digitorum longus muscle increased significantly, but that in soleus decreased significantly.
