Transcription profiling of rat soleus during acute physical inactivity and walking

ABSTRACT: Global gene expression of the rat soleus muscle was assessed with microarrays after 12 hrs of physical inactivity and also after 12 hours of physical inactivity immediately followed by 2 hrs treadmill walking and compared to normally caged rats with voluntary standing and intermittent cage movements. Experiment Overall Design: Rats were either prevented from standing on the their hindlimbs for 12 hrs or were prevented from standing on the their hindlimbs for 12 hrs and then immediately engaged in 2 hours treadmill walking and compared to caged rats with normal standing/ambulatory activity. RNA was extracted from soleus muscles and each array represents the pooling of the RNA from the soleus of 8-10 different rats.
