Ks (A) and the proportion of ribosomes in polysomes (B) in the longissimus dorsi muscle of intermittently bolus-fed, continuously fed, and feed-deprived neonatal pigs. Values are means ± SEM, n = 5–7. ANOVA showed an effect of treatment on Ks and the proportion of ribosomes in polysomes, P < 0.05. Means without a common letter differ, P < 0.05. Ks, fractional rate of protein synthesis.
