GL-induced hyper-glycogen in the muscle, but not in brain, is associated with carbohydrate intake. (A) Experimental design. (B) Glycogen levels in muscle, liver, and brain (hippocampus, hypothalamus, and cortex). Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (n = 7–8/group) **P < 0.01 versus 5% group (Dunnett’s post hoc test). (C) Correlation between carbohydrate intake and glycogen levels in muscle, liver, hippocampus, hypothalamus and cortex. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (n = 7–8/group). Correlations are shown between the carbohydrate intake and glycogen levels. Lines in the scatter plots show significant correlation (by Pearson’s product-moment correlations test).
