Biomarker expression in the muscle tissue of anurans from an extremely seasonal semi-arid environment, the Brazilian Caatinga

The data are seasonal measures of key metabolic biomarkers in the muscles of three species of anurans from Brazilian semi-arid area, Caatinga (Rhinella jimi, R. granulosa and Pleurodema diplolister). The spreadsheet contains the expression of the folllowing proteins: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), Protein kinase B (AKT), Total eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α), the ration between phosphorylated and total eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α/eIF2α), chaperone proteins (HSP 60, 70, and 90) and Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity in different muscles (Gular muscle [referred as larynx], Trunk, plantaris and flexor).
