Effects of intermittent heat stress and/or 14 days of denervation on the transcription of atrogin‐1/muscle atrophy F‐box (Atrogin‐1, A) and muscle RING‐finger protein‐1 (MuRF‐1, B) genes in soleus muscles were evaluated by real‐time polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR). The expression levels of Atrogin‐1 and MuRF‐1 mRNA were obtained by calculation after normalization using the expression level of TATA box‐binding protein (Tbp). The relative expression levels pertaining to the sham‐operated Cont muscles are also shown. Mean ± SD (n = 8 per group). D: main effect of denervation, respectively; H×D: interaction of effects of heat stress and denervation; *: the result of Tukey's multiple comparisons test was < 0.05. See Figure 2 for other abbreviations.
