This study aimed to investigate torque deficit and activation of protein synthesis and/or protein degradation signaling pathways during the early and recovery phase after high- and low-velocity eccentric contractions (ECs). Male Wistar rats (n = 36) were randomly divided into fast angular velocity ECs group (FAST; 180 degrees/s; n = 12), slow ECs group (SLOW; 30 degrees/s; n = 12), and control group (control; n = 12). ECs comprised four sets of five forced dorsiflexions combined with electrical stimulation of the plantar flexors. Isometric tetanic torque was measured before and after ECs. Tissue contents of Akt(P) (P, phosphorylated), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)(P), 70-kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase (P70S6k), P70S6k(P), forkhead transcription factor 1 of the O class (FOXO1), FOXO1(P), FOXO3, FOXO3(P), myostatin, and activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB) were measured. The isometric tetanic torque after ECs was significantly lower in FAST than in SLOW (days 1, 3, and 5, P < 0.05; day 2, P < 0.01). The ratio of P70S6k(P) against total P70S6k on days 2 and 7 was significantly higher in SLOW than in the control. The ratio of FOXO1 against total FOXO1, the ratio of FOXO3a against total FOXO3a, and myostatin on days 2 and 7 were significantly higher in FAST than in the control, while that of ActRIIB on day 7 was significantly lower in SLOW than in the other two groups. These results suggest that EC intensity plays a key role in impairment of muscular function and activation of protein synthesis and/or protein degradation signaling pathways.
