Effects of eccentric exercise on muscle proteolytic enzyme activities

Enzyme activities Control Post exercise Day 1 Day 14
Cathepsin B+L 13.7 ± 1.7 13.8 ± 1.7 15.5 ± 1.3 20.6 ± 1.4**
Proteasome 12.6 ± 1.6 12.3 ± 1.7 15.3 ± 1.5 19.8 ± 1**

Rates of enzyme activities were fluorometrically determined and are expressed as nmol min−1 (g muscle)−1. Values are means ± s.e.m.(n = 12).

**

P < 0.01 : significantly different from control values.
