Figure 8. Massage induces an anabolic effect in the contralateral non‐massaged muscle.

Figure 8

Mean fibre cross sectional area (A), fractional protein synthesis rate of myofibrillar, cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions (B), 45S pre‐rRNA (C), calculated protein synthesis rate, K syn (D), calculated protein degradation rate, K deg 1/t (E), DNA synthesis rate (F), number of Pax7+ cells (G), and protein/DNA synthesis ratio (H) in gastrocnemius muscle from reloaded (RE, n = 8) rats and the contralateral left gastrocnemius from rats massaged on the right limb (REM‐L, n = 8). Values are means ± SEM. Two‐sided t test was used to determine statistical significance: *different from RE, P < 0.05.
