Figure 4.

Effects of L-glutamine supplementation (daily doses of 1 g/kg body weight for five weeks) associated or not with resistance exercise training on the levels of phosphorylated P-4E-BP1 (a) and pS6 (b) in the EDL muscle. Representative bands of the proteins are shown in (c). The results are presented as the mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean) and were compared using a two-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni post-test (n = 8 to 9 animals per group). * p < 0.05 vs. C. Control, no exercise (C); exercise, hypertrophy resistance training exercise protocol (T); no exercise, supplemented with glutamine (G); and exercise and supplemented with glutamine (GT).
