Muscle tissue-free and muscle protein bound enrichments.

Muscle tissue-free and muscle protein bound enrichments at the start of the experiment (t = -180 min), the end of the basal period (t = 0 min), the early (t = 120 min) and the late (t = 300 min) stages of the post-prandial phase (MPE). Muscle free and muscle protein bound L-[ring-2H5]-phenylalanine enrichments at t = -180 min were assessed based upon plasma albumin as an alternative of a baseline biopsy sample as described previously [48]. Values are expressed as means ± SEM.*: Statistically different from basal (t = 0 min).#: Statistically different from the early stage of the post-prandial state (t = 120 min).Data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA.Muscle tissue-free and muscle protein bound enrichments.
