How can you use “glycolytic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
A shift in fiber distribution from ST to FT fibers gives rise to altered activities of key oxidative and glycolytic enzymes (Pette and Hofer 1980).
Under this classification scheme, fibers are characterized as follows: type I fibers are slow-twitch with a high oxidative capacity; type IIa fibers are fast-twitch with a high oxidative and glycolytic capacity; type IIb fibers are fast-twitch with a low oxidative and a high glycolytic capacity; and type IId/x fibers (common in small mammals) are fast-twitch with a metabolic profile intermediate to that of IIa and IIb fibers [ 17 ] .
During exercise, slow twitch motor units serving oxidative fibers are recruited first during moderate exercise, and motor units serving glycolytic fibers are recruited later and during more severe exercise [ 1 ] . This is in contrast to electrical stimulation of sufficient intensity where all motor units are thought to be activated simultaneously [ 31 ] . The larger regional difference in VEGF mRNA signal after electrical stimulation may be due to the fact that this protocol was more metabolically demanding than the treadmill exercise protocol, or indeed because the rat muscle was hypoxic during electrical stimulation.
Relevant to the main finding of this study, that VEGF mRNA signal is stronger in deep oxidative regions of the muscle expressing a high proportion of type I and IIa fibers, is the extensive literature describing skeletal muscle capillarity, blood flow, and the angiogenic response to exercise or electrical stimulation [ 22 ] . Fibers with an oxidative phenotype have a greater number of surrounding capillaries than glycolytic fibers [ 23 ] . This difference in vascular supply is consistent with the metabolic profiles of type I and IIa fibers versus IIb and IId/x fibers.
Indeed, the ratio between glycolytic and oxidative enzyme activities in the skeletal muscle of non-insulin-dependent diabetic or obese individuals is related to insulin resistance (Simoneau et al.
