Altered urinary molar 3-methyhistidine/creatinine ratio (A) and muscle mRNA expression of atrogenes muscle ring finger-1 (MuRF1; B) and muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx; C) in gastrocnemius of randomly fed, 21-h-fasted and 3-h-refed R6/2 mice. In A, n = 10 for WT and 9 for R6/2 mice. In B and C, P < 0.05 between groups with different letters; for WT, n = 4, 4, and 5, and for R6/2 mice, n = 5, 6, and 6 in fed, fasted and refed states, respectively.
