Contractions but not AICAR increase FABPpm content in rat muscle sarcolemma.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
unlabelledIn the present study, it was investigated whether acute muscle contractions in rat skeletal muscle increased the protein content of FABPpm in the plasma membrane. Furthermore, the effect of AICAR stimulation on FAT/CD36 and FABPpm protein content in sarcolemma of rat skeletal muscle was evaluated.
methodsMale wistar rats (150 g) were anesthetized and either subjected to in situ electrically induced contractions (hindlimb muscles: 20 min, 10-20 V, 200 ms trains, 100 Hz) or stimulated with the pharmacological activator of AMPK, AICAR. To investigate changes in the content of FABPpm and FAT/CD36 in the plasma membrane by these stimuli, the giant sarcolemma vesicle (GSV) technique was applied. The hindlimb muscles were removed and used for the production of GSV and lysates. All samples were analyzed using the western blotting technique.
resultsElectrical stimulation of rat hindlimb muscle resulted in an increase in FABPpm protein content in the GSV of 61% (P < 0.05) and in FAT/CD36 protein content in the GSV of 33% (P < 0.05). AICAR stimulation increased FAT/CD36 protein content in GSV by 22% (P < 0.05), whereas FABPpm protein content in GSV was unaffected by AICAR treatment. There was no change in total FAT/CD36 and FABPpm protein expression, measured in lysates with western blotting, by either stimulus. AMPK thr172 and ERK1/2 thr202/204 phosphorylation were significantly increased with muscle contractions (P < 0.05), whereas only AMPK thr172 phosphorylation was increased with AICAR stimulation (P < 0.05).
conclusionThese data show that contractions increase both FAT/CD36 and FABPpm protein content in skeletal muscle plasma membrane, whereas only FAT/CD36 protein content is increased when muscle are stimulated with AICAR. This suggests that AMPK is involved in regulation of FAT/CD36, but not FABPpm in skeletal muscle. However, since both ERK1/2 thr202/204 and AMPK thr172 phosphorylation are increased during muscle contractions, the present study cannot rule out that both could play a significant role in regulation of FAT/CD36 and FABPpm during muscle contractions.
