Fatigue-induced orosomucoid (ORM) elevation in females is weaker than males. (a) Serum ORM levels of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats in forced-swimming, sleep-deprivation and treadmill-running fatigue models. (b) Representative western blots of ORM in liver and muscle tissues derived from the rats mentioned in (a) (n=6−7/group in control group, n=4/group in fatigue models). Data are presented as the means±s.e.m. NS, not significant, *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with least significant difference (LSD) t-test.
