Effect of JPYS decoction on muscle protein synthesis and protein degradation in 5/6 nephrectomised rats. (a) Protein synthesis was measured from the rate of incorporation of L-[U-14C] phenylalanine into isolated, incubated soleus muscles. (b) Protein degradation was measured as the rate of tyrosine released from isolated soleus muscles. Results are presented as mean ± SD, n = 6 per group, *P < 0.05 between Sham and CKD groups. #P < 0.05 between CKD and JPYS groups.
