In the mdx animals that received the chronic AICAR treatment, running-elicited AMPK and p38 phosphorylation was attenuated compared with vehicle-treated mice.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
mdx mice were treated with the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR; 500 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1)) for 30 days, and then one-half of the animals were subjected to a bout of treadmill running to induce acute AMPK and p38 MAPK signaling.
