Diabetes Alters Contraction-Induced Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase Activation in the Rat Soleus and Plantaris

Figure 4

Effects of concentric, maximal muscle contraction in situon phosphorylation of Jnk. The basal (control) and contraction-induced phosphorylation of the Jnk1 (d),(e), Jnk2 (a),(b), Jnk3-MAPK (c) in plantaris and soleus muscles from lean and diabetic Zucker rats at 0, 1, and 3 hours after contractile stimulus. Jnk phosphorylation was determined by Western analysis and immunodetection for Jnk phosphorylation on Thr183 and Tyr185. An asterisk (*) indicates significant difference ( ) from the control within animal model, and a cross () indicates significant difference ( ) at corresponding time points across animal models.
