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

Figure 3

Effects of concentric, maximal muscle contraction in situ on phosphorylation of p38-MAPK. The basal (control) and contraction-induced phosphorylation of the Jnk in plantaris and soleus muscles from lean (LNZ) and obese Zucker (OSXZ) rats at 0, 1, and 3 hours after HFES. Phosphorylation of p38-MAPK was determined by immunodetection of phosphorylation on Thr180 and Tyr182 (phospho-p38 α MAPK). An asterisk (*) indicates significant difference ( ) from the control time point within animal model, and a cross () indicates significant difference ( ) at corresponding time points across animal models.
