Figure 1. Muscle protein concentration, cell size, and capacity for protein synthesis.

Figure 1

Muscle alkali soluble protein concentration (A), the protein-to-DNA ratio in muscle (an index of cell size; B), and the RNA-to-DNA ratio (an index for the cell capacity for protein synthesis; C) before and after eight weeks of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCn-3PUFA) supplementation. Values are means ± SEM. a Value significantly (P < 0.05) different from corresponding value before LCn-3PUFA supplementation. The difference in the RNA-to-DNA ratio did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.13).
