Figure 1. Exercised groups were subjected to five sessions on a treadmill at the speed of 22/min for 30 minutes during the last week of the diet treatment.

The data were obtained from gastrocnemius collected 6(n = 8 per group). The dietary proteins were consumed for 3 weeks. Mean and standard error for the Western blot analysis of: HSP90 (A), HSP60 (B), HSP25 (C), Aha1 (D), p-HSF1 (E), VEGF (F), p-AKT (G), PI3 Kinase (p85) (H), BCKDH (I), OGT (J), GFAT (K), GPx (L), Catalase (M), SOD (N), PGC (O), Sum of BCAAs (P). Protein sources: whey protein (WP), whey protein hydrolysate (WPH), Casein (CAS) control. Six groups: Sedentary CAS (control), Sedentary WP, Sedentary WPH, Exercised CAS, Exercised WP and Exercised WPH. All values were compared and related to CAS sedentary (protein source control) and reported as %CAS value. Different letters represent significant differences.
