Abstract

The concentrations of glucose and glycogen in the normal gastrocnemius muscles of Uromastix hardwickii were $88.82{\pm}4.52\;mg/100\;gm$ and $158.98{\pm}23.19\;mg/100gm$ of wet weight of the muscle, respectively. 14-days denervation period has no any effect on glucose contents while the glycogen concentration was decreased to 1/3 of the normal control innervated muscles.
