Proteins and genes related to regulation of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle before, 40 min, and 5 and 22 h after the termination of endurance exercise (E) and endurance exercise followed by BCAA ingestion (EA). Phosphorylation levels of p70S6K1^Thr389 (a) and eEF2^Thr56 (b), mRNA abundance of IGF1-Ea (c), IGF1-Ec [MGF] (d), and DDIT4 [REDD1] (e). Each target protein was normalized to GAPDH, each target mRNA was normalized to two reference genes (GAPDH and RPLP0), each value represents the median and interquartile range, *significant difference (P < 0.05)
