Protein synthesis is elevated in RGS2−/− mice. Hepatocytes from wild-type control and RGS2−/− mice were prepared and used in a [3H]leucine protein synthesis assay as described in Materials and methods. The data were calculated as cpm/µg of total protein, normalized as a percentage of control, and are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. *, P < 0.05 versus control (paired t test).
