Muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx)/Atrogin-1 (a) and muscle ring finger 1 (MuRF1) (b) mRNA expression in soleus (SOL) and plantaris (PLA) muscles after 3 days of hindlimb immobilization. Differences in mRNA expression between SOL and PLA muscles after 3 days of immobilization were assessed by the Mann–Whitney U test. The data are shown as the relative values [to those of the SOL muscle in the control group (Con)]. Each bar represents the mean ± SE (n = 4/group). Asterisk (*) indicates significant differences (P < 0.05) between soleus and plantaris muscle after 3 days of hindlimb immobilization
