Abstract

The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways have been highlighted as a possible link between exercise and adaptive changes in skeletal muscle. In this study, the effect of exercise intensity on the activation of the ERK/MAP kinase pathway was investigated in human skeletal muscle. One-leg exercise at low (40% maximal oxygen consumption, VO2max for 30 min) and high (75% VO2max for 30 min) intensity resulted in 11.5+8. I-fold and 39.7+/-6.3-fold (mean +/-SEM) increases in ERK1/2 phosphorylation (P
