Figure 1. Synthesis rates of myofibrillar (top) and sarcoplasmic (middle) proteins and muscle collagen (bottom) in soleus, vastus and triceps during basal, postabsorptive conditions and mixed amino acid infusion.

Values are means ±s.e.m. ANOVA revealed a statistically significant main effect of feeding on myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein FSR (P < 0.001) and a statistically significant difference between the FSR (for both myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins) in soleus and triceps (P < 0.05) and vastus and triceps (P < 0.05) but no significant muscle–feeding interaction.
