This study determined whether rates of protein synthesis increase after acute resistance exercise in skeletal muscle from severely diabetic rats. Previous studies consistently show that postexercise rates of protein synthesis are elevated in nondiabetic and moderately diabetic rats. Severely diabetic rats performed acute resistance exercise (n = 8) or remained sedentary (n = 8). A group of nond...
