(a) Scampi tail muscle tissue glycogen concentration, presented as glucose (mmol g⁻¹), and (b) haemolymph glucose concentration (mmol L⁻¹) in untreated controls or after administration of vehicle, adenosine (Ado), L-theanine (L-th), or Ado/L-th mixture. Sample sizes for tissue glycogen (a) are n = 10, n = 6, n = 6, n = 6, and n = 7; respectively, for the treatments. The sample size for haemolymph glucose (b) is n = 10 for all groups. Significant differences () among groups are marked by different superscript letters.
