DNA synthesis in gastroc complex, heart, and liver over 2 wk in 4-mo and 7-mo CL and Con. A: gastroc complex DNA synthesis was significantly greater in 4-mo CL than in 4-mo Con, heart DNA synthesis in 4-mo CL tended to be greater (P = 0.070) than 4-mo Con, and there were no differences in liver DNA synthesis between 4-mo animals. B: in 7-mo animals, DNA synthesis was significantly less in CL heart than in Con, and no significant differences were observed between 7-mo CL and 7-mo Con in gastroc complex or liver. DNA synthesis rates in heart tissues from 4-mo mice were log transformed to normalize variance; n = 4 in both ages and groups except that in 7-mo Con gastroc complex and 7-mo CL gastroc complex and heart n = 3 due to one data point being excluded as an outlier. *P < 0.05 for CL vs. Con.
