Effect of alcohol consumption on protein components of mTORC1 in gastrocnemius of adult and aged female rats. Values are expressed as means ± SE; n = 8 or 9 rats per group. Western blot data (A) were normalized to the amount of total raptor (B), or deptor (DEP-domain containing partner of mTOR) (tubulin) (C), with the control-fed value for adult rats set at 100 AU. ^a,bValues with different letters are statistically different (P < 0.05), while those values with the same letter are not statistically different.
