Figure 5

Panel A, JAK2; Panel B, STAT5; Panel C, mTOR; Panel D, S6K; and Panel E, 4EBP1 gene. Arg 0X, control without supplemental Arg (0.00 mg/L); Arg 0.25X, deficiency in casein (69.50 mg/L); Arg 0.5X, deficiency in casein (139.00 mg/L); Arg 1X, to match its concentration in casein (278.00 mg/L); Arg 2X, excess in casein (556.00 mg/L); Arg 4X, excess in casein (1,112 mg/L); and Arg 8X, excess in casein (2,224 mg/L). Different letters indicate significant difference between means (P < 0.05).
