Summary

Soleus (red) and extensor digitorum longus (white) muscles from Sprague Dawley rats were incubated with 6-14C-labelled glucose in normal and in hyperosmotic media. Hyperosmolarity decreased 6-14C-glucose incorporation into muscle glycogen in a dose dependent manner and increased glycolysis and glucose oxidation. Increased glycogenolysis rather than decreased glycogenesis was responsible for the reduction in labelled glycogen accumulation.
