Fig. 5From: Effects of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) on the expression of ubiquitin ligases, protein synthesis pathways and contractile function in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) of fed and fasting ratsWestern blotting analysis of AKT, 4EBP1 and S6; content of phosphorylation/total (a, b, c) for each protein, respectively. Quantitative representation obtained by densitometric analysis is shown. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6–9 animals/group), in arbitrary units (AU). in white Fed:Control and Fasting:Control and in black Fed:HMB and Fasting:HMB. Asterisk effect of supplementation (p = 0.0316) (a); hash interaction supplementation and fasting (p = 0.0281) and asterisk effect of fasting (p = 0.0329) (b)Back to article page
