TLDR
The findings suggest that the females have a significantly lower overall capacity for aerobic oxidation and for anaerobic glycolysis than the males and the females has a greater capacity for beta-oxidation relative to the capacity of the citric acid cycle.

Skeletal muscle biochemistry and histology in ambulatory patients with long-term heart failure.

TL;DR: Major alterations in skeletal muscle histology and biochemistry in patients with long-term heart failure are demonstrated, including fiber atrophy, a decrease in percentage of composition of type I fibers, and an increase in type IIb fibers accompanied by a decreases in oxidative enzyme capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gender differences in fat metabolism.

TL;DR: There is abundant evidence that the proportion of energy derived from fat during exercise is higher in women than in men, and this finding seems counterintuitive, as percentage body fat is increased in women.

Sex-stratified Genome-wide Association Studies Including 270,000 Individuals Show Sexual Dimorphism in Genetic Loci for Anthropometric Traits

TL;DR: The value of sex-specific GWAS to unravel the sexually dimorphic genetic underpinning of complex traits is demonstrated, with no evidence for genetic effects with opposite directions in men versus women.

Fuel metabolism in men and women during and after long-duration exercise

TL;DR: The view that different priorities are placed on lipid and carbohydrate oxidation during exercise in men and women is supported and that these gender-based differences extend to the catecholamine response to exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbohydrate loading and metabolism during exercise in men and women

TL;DR: It is concluded that women did not increase muscle glycogen in response to the 4-day regimen of carbohydrate loading described, which supports previous observations of greater lipid and lower carbohydrate and protein oxidation by women vs. men during submaximal endurance exercise.

The specificity of the histochemical method for adenosine triphosphatase.

TL;DR: The strong phosphatase activity of endothelium and vascular smooth muscle toward adenosine triphosphate was seemingly indifferent to -SH groups, since the staining of these structures was not markedly influenced by -SH inhibitors or compounds.

THREE "MYOSIN ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATASE" SYSTEMS: THE NATURE OF THEIR pH LABILITY AND SULFHYDRYL DEPENDENCE

TL;DR: Two types of striated muscle fibers (Padykula amid Herman) can be distimiguished and these have been described as the less active type I and the more active type II fibers.

Biochemical adaptations to endurance exercise in muscle.

TL;DR: This review deals with the biochemical adaptations induced in skeletal muscle by the endurance type of exercise and with the physiological consequences of these adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Skeletal muscle enzymes and fiber composition in male and female track athletes.

TL;DR: These measurements confirm earlier reports which suggest that the athlete's preference for strength, speed, and/or endurance events is in part a matter of genetic endowment.

Metabolic Differentiation of Distinct Muscle Types at the Level of Enzymatic Organization

TL;DR: Nature of the fuel, type of metabolism and catabolic rate thus represent fundamental elements in metabolic differentiation.
