Soleus muscle weight and body weight of rats at post-cryolesion days 1, 3, and 10.

Control: intact muscles; Leu: muscles supplemented with leucine; Cryo: cryolesioned muscles; Cryo+Leu: cryolesioned muscles supplemented with leucine; Control/Cryo: animals that had the left soleus muscle cryolesioned and the right soleus muscles used as control; Leu/Cryo+Leu: animals that were supplemented with leucine and had the left soleus muscle cryolesioned and the right soleus muscles used as control. ap<0.05 vs. Control and Leu in the same post-cryolesion time point; bp<0.05 vs. matched group on Day 1 after cryolesion (analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post hoc test for multiple comparison.
