Gene and protein expressions of muscle RING-finger protein-1 (MuRF1) in the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus muscles. Gene expression of MuRF1 as determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (a: EDL, b: soleus) and protein expression of MuRF1 by western blot analysis (c: EDL, d: soleus). Entire images of western blotting are shown in online Additional file 1: Fig S6. Values are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean. SD-Cont group, n = 5; SD-Ex group, n = 5; SDT-Cont group, n = 6; and SDT-Ex group, n = 6. ^*P < 0.05 and ^**P < 0.01 vs. the SD-Cont group, ^†P < 0.05 and ^††P < 0.01 vs. the SD-Ex group, and ^§P < 0.05 and ^§§P < 0.01 vs. the SDT-Cont group
