Different models of muscle growth show an increase in protein synthesis rates. (A) Table summarizing the weight of the EDL muscles taken out in the six different conditions of muscle growth and control muscles. (B) In order to determine the protein synthesis rate in each EDL muscle in the different conditions we injected puromycin 30 min before taking out the muscles. As can be seen in the representative blot and quantification, all conditions show a significant increase in protein synthesis rates compared to control muscles (n = 4 for each group, ^*P < 0.05).
