When Ron Evans generated transgenic mice in which the gene PPAR-delta was constitutively active (i.e., always expressed), he found that these mice showed a shift from fast glycolytic fibers to slow oxidative fibers. One consequence of this anatomical change would be that the transgenic mice

A. were more likely to become obese than wild-type (nontransgenic) mice. B. had muscles that were not as red as those of wild-type (nontransgenic) mice. C. showed greater endurance in a running test. D. showed less endurance in a running test. E. had leg muscles with lower mitochondrial and capillary densities than wild-type (nontransgenic) mice.
