Aim: To investigate gender-related differences in the responses of oxidative enzymes and eukaryotic elongation factor-2 (eEF2) to exercise. Methods: The influence of exercise (90 min, 60%VO2peak) on citrate synthase (CS) and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HAD) activity and mRNA content, together with eEF2 expression and phosphorylation at rest, were assessed in skeletal muscle of untrained (UT) and endurance trained (ET) females and males. Results: Citrate synthase and HAD mRNA were higher in females than in males (27% and 48%, respectively, P
