Figure 2.

Relative gene expression of growth signaling proteins from the muscle of steers not steroidal implanted (NoIMP) or steroidal implanted (TE200) and supplemented 0, 100, or 150 mg Zn/kg DM (Zn0, Zn100, Zn150, respectively). Samples were collected on day 11 from the longissimus thoracis. Relative gene expression was calculated relative to NoIMP-Zn0 treatment. Contrast statements were formed to test the effect of increasing Zn from Zn0 to Zn150 within NoIMP (Zn-NoIMP) and TE200 (Zn-TE200), in addition to the main effect of steroidal implant (IMP; Zn0 and Zn150) and the linear effect of increasing Zn as Zn0, Zn100, and Zn150 within TE200 (Zn-L). A) Protein kinase B (AKT1), B) eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase (EEF2K), C) ribosomal protein S6 kinase B1 (RPS6KB1), D) mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), and E) forkhead box O-3 (FOXO3) gene expression were not affected by Zn or steroidal implant contrast statements (P ≥ 0.17).
