Abstract

Anaerobic exercise has been advocated as a prescribed treatment for the management of diabetes: however, alterations in exercise-induced signaling remain largely unexplored in the diabetic muscle. Here, we compare the basal and the in situ contraction-induced phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) ERK 1/2, p38, and JNK in the lean and obese (fa/fa) Zucker rat tibialus anterior (TA) muscle following a single bout of contractile stimuli. This article represents data associated with prior publications from our lab (Katta et al., 2009, Katta et al., 2009, Tullgren et al., 1991) [1-3] and concurrent Data in Brief articles (Ginjupalli et al., 2017, Rice et al., 2017, Rice et al., 2017, Rice et al., 2017) [4-7].
