Tissue Taurine Depletion Alters Metabolic Response to Exercise and Reduces Running Capacity in Mice

Figure 2

Alterations in blood lactate and glucose concentration during exercise in TauTKO and WT mice. (a, b) Blood lactate (a) and glucose concentration (b) were measured at the indicated time points when mice were running on the treadmill at 10 m/min for 10 min (warm-up) at 15 m/min or 20 m/min (WT mice only) for 20 min (20 min run). Black triangles: WT mice who ran at 15 m/min (WT 15); black diamonds: WT mice who ran at 20 m/min (WT20); gray squares: TauTKO mice who ran at 15 m/min. (c) The changes of blood glucose before and after 20 min running were calculated. Data are mean ± se. . versus WT, versus before running.
