FIGURE 2.

Blood flow, microvascular perfusion, phenylalanine net balance across the leg, and mixed-muscle-protein fractional synthetic rate in the basal period and during the consumption of EAA+sucrose in healthy older adults after a control or aerobic exercise treatment. n = 6 for both treatments by using a randomized crossover design. Paired t tests were used to compare basal with EAA+sucrose within treatments (control and exercise) and delta scores between treatments. ^*Significantly different from basal, P < 0.05. ^†Exercise:EAA+sucrose delta score > control:EAA+sucrose delta score (P < 0.05 unless otherwise noted). EAA, essential amino acids.
