Figure 7. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) protein expression and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) activity in rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle.

A, representative blot of PDK4 protein. B, density of PDK4 protein bands, measured by Western blotting, in EDL muscle of rats administered with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or saline for 24 h. C, muscle PDC activity following 24 h LPS or saline infusion. Significantly different from control: *P < 0.05. Values represent means +s.e.m.
