The breakdown (a) and synthesis (b) rates and the net balance (c) of leg muscle protein calculated by using the three-pool model. The data are presented as means (nmol Phe/min/100 ml leg volume) per age groups: age 0–7 (n = 35), age 8–12 (n = 10), age 13–18 (n = 6), age 20–45 (n = 8), age 46–80 (n = 11), and standard deviations of means
