Figure 4

LV myocardial activity levels of enzymes implicated in fatty acid β-oxidation, glucose metabolism and mitochondrial energy production in male and female AR rats after 6 months. Hydroxyacyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase (HADH) (A), hexokinase (HK) (B), citrate synthase (C), and succinate dehydrogenase (D) enzymatic activities were measured in LV homogenates from 5–6 animals in each group as described in the Methods. The results are reported as the mean ± SEM. Probability values are from a 2-way ANOVA and Holm-Sedak post-testing. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 between indicated groups.
