Loss of BRCA1 does not affect Parkin or Drp1 phosphorylation in skeletal muscle. A, B) No significant differences were detected in GLUT4 protein content in the TA muscle from age-matched WT and BRCA1KOsmi mice that were fed normal CD or HFD. B) No significant differences were detected in HKII protein content in the TA muscle from age-matched WT and BRCA1KOsmi mice that were fed a CD or an HFD. C) PFK protein content was elevated in WT and KO exposed to an HFD. +, Main effect of diet, P ≤ 0.05. WT-CD vs. KO-CD exhibited a trend toward statistical significance. P = 0.060. D) LDH protein content was higher in WT and KO fed to an HFD. +, Main effect of diet. P ≤ 0.05. WT-CD vs. KO-CD almost reached statistical significance (n = 4–6 mice/group). P = 0.065. E) Examples of bands measured from the Western blots from each target in each group. Noncontiguous bands are shown in the examples.
