Figure 2.
Relative effect of inflammation on amino acid release from EDL (filled bars) and SOL (open bars). Means of appropriate control values were used as 100%. Values are means ± SEM, n = 7 in each group. F-test followed by two-sample t-test; •P < 0.05 vs. EDL. SOL, the soleus muscle; EDL, the extensor digitorum longus muscle; BCAA, branched chain amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine); TOTAL, sum of all measured amino acids; ALA, ASN, GLU, GLN, GLY, HIS, ILE, LEU, LYS, MET, PHE, PRO, SER, VAL – standard amino acid abbreviations.
