Popis: To examine the relationship between mitochondrial energy coupling in skeletal muscle and change in uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) expression during the transition from the fed to fasted state, we used a novel noninvasive31P/13C NMR spectroscopic approach to measure the degree of mitochondrial energy coupling in the hind limb muscles of awake rats before and after a 48-h fast. Compared with fed levels, UCP3 mRNA and protein levels in the gastrocnemius increased 1.7- (p
