FIGURE 3.

The TXNIP mRNA expression in rat epitrochlearis and soleus muscles after swimming or treadmill running. Rats were subjected to an acute 3‐hr‐long bout of swimming without a weight (Swim). Immediately (0 hr) or 3 hr after the cessation of swimming, epitrochlearis (a) and soleus (b) muscles were dissected out and used for the measurement of TXNIP mRNA. Other rats were subjected to an acute 3‐hr‐long bout of treadmill running up a 15% grade at 9 m/min (Treadmill). Immediately (0 hr) or 3 hr after the cessation of treadmill running, epitrochlearis (c) and soleus (d) muscles were dissected out and used for the measurement of TXNIP mRNA. The time‐matched resting control (Rest) rats started fasting when the exercised rats started fasting (3 hr before starting exercise). Values are mean ± SE; n = 8–9 (a), n = 9 (b), n = 7–9 (c), n = 7–9 (d). *p < .05 versus the time‐matched resting control group
