(a) IMMD glutamate concentrations. Mean (±SD) intramuscular microdialysate [glutamate] (M L-1) at baseline, in response to work and recovery. Percent difference in comparison to baseline is depicted on the right hand -axis. Significant differences with respect to baseline concentrations are indicated with * for a -value and ** for a -value . (b) IMMD PGE2 concentrations. Mean (±SD) intramuscular microdialysate [PGE2] (g mL-1) at baseline, in response to work and recovery. Percent difference in comparison to baseline is depicted on the right hand -axis. Significant differences with respect to baseline concentrations are indicated with * for a -value <.05 and ** for a -value . (c) IMMD lactate concentrations. Mean (±SD) intramuscular microdialysate [lactate] (mM L-1) at baseline, in response to work and recovery. Percent difference in comparison to baseline is depicted on the right hand -axis. Significant differences with respect to baseline concentrations are indicated with * for a -value and ** for a -value . (d) IMMD pyruvate concentrations. Mean (±SD) interstitial microdialysate [pyruvate] (mM L-1) at baseline, during work and recovery. Percent difference in comparison to baseline is depicted on the right hand -axis. Significant differences with respect to baseline concentrations are indicated with * for a -value and ** for a -value .
