Figure 3.

Muscle, organ, and tumour tissue protein synthesis rates. Liver and pancreas protein synthesis rates were 13‐fold and 20‐fold higher than those observed in skeletal muscle (^* P = 0.012 and ^* P = 0.028, respectively, Wilcoxon signed‐rank). Protein synthesis rates in pancreatic tumour tissue were 2.5‐fold and 1.6‐folder lower, respectively, compared with those of the surrounding healthy pancreas and liver (^* P = 0.028 and ^* P = 0.046, respectively, Wilcoxon signed‐rank). Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean. FSR, fractional synthetic rate.
