Data of transcriptome, realtime PCR, and strength of muscle of old rats

This study aimed to test the effects of exercise training and resveratrol feeding on the skeletal muscle function and transcriptome of the old rats. The male SD rats aged 25 months were divided into the control group (OC), the daily exercise training group (OE), and the resveratrol feeding group (OR). After 6 weeks of intervention, the body mass, grip strength, and gastrocnemius muscle mass were determined, and the muscle samples were analyzed by transcriptome sequencing. Eight selected genes (Prkaa-2, FOXO3, IGF-1, TRIM67, IL-6, MGMT, and SCN5a) were verified by quantitative real-time PCR.
