CTSB Skeletal Muscle Protein and Transcript Response to 80% Acute Aerobic Exercise. A) Representative western blot probing for CTSB before, 30-minutes post and 3-hours post 80% acute AE. All samples were normalized to total protein stain. Protein and transcript content of B) Mature CTSB protein, C) ProCTSB protein, D) Total CTSB protein and E) Pro:Mature CTSB protein ratio and F) CTSB transcript n = 15 (8M/7F). Mature CTSB is expected at 30 kD, ProCTSB is expected at 41 KD. All data are represented as mean±SEM. n = 13 PRE (7M/6F), n = 6 POST (5M/1F), and n = 6 3 h (4M/2F). ^*p < 0.05 vs PRE, ^**p < 0.01 vs PRE, ^#p < 0.05 main effect of time.
