Kinetic of liver glycogen resynthesis according to type of force-feeding in fasted rats (expressed in glucosyl units). m ± SEM. n varied from 6 to 12 for each delay. Isocaloric (7.28 cal) force-feeding (expressed per g body weight) consisted of 18.2 mg glucose or 14 mg glucose + 1.9 mg butyrate. Experimental conditions reflect the in vivo situation at each time of liver excision. Labeled means at a time without a common letter differ (t-test), P = 0.05. *Different from previous time in the Glucose group and in the Butyrate group, P < 0.01. **Different from 6th hour in Glucose+Butyrate group, P = 0.035.
