Fractional rate of protein synthesis (Ks) in skeletal muscle at the end of a pancreatic glucose-amino acid clamp in control and pST-treated pigs. Pigs were infused with insulin at 18, 90, and 200 ng·kg−0.66·min−1 to reproduce fasting (5 μU/ml), fed control (25 μU/ml), or fed pST-treated (50 μU/ml) levels, while glucose and amino acids were clamped at baseline fasting levels. ANOVA indicates an insulin (P < 0.001) and a pST (P < 0.005) effect, but no interaction. Results of paired t-test: *response in pST-treated pigs different from controls at individual insulin dose (P < 0.05); †response to insulin dose different from fasting (5 μU/ml, P < 0.05). Values are means ± SE; n = 5–7 per group.
