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

Figure 5

Contraction-induced p90rsk (MAPKAP-K1) and MAPKAPK-2 phosphorylation are altered with type II diabetes. Plantaris muscles from lean (LNZ) and obese Zucker (OSXZ) rats were obtained immediately after, 1 and 3 hours after a bout of HFES. Alterations in p90rsk (a) and MAPKAPK-2 (b) phosphorylation with exercise were determined by immunoblotting. An asterisk (*) indicates significant difference ( ) from the control within animal model, and a cross () indicates significant difference ( ) at corresponding time points across animal models.
