Figure 4

Colonic MUC-2 mRNA levels and total colonic protein synthesis. Colonic MUC-2 mRNA levels were evaluated by RT-qPCR in both Gln (A) and BCAA (B) series. The total colonic protein synthesis rate was measured with the SUnSET method in Gln (C) and BCAA (D) series with puromycin incorporation. Column bar graphs show control mice (CTRL; black bars), non-supplemented activity-based anorexia mice (ABA-C; open bars) and supplemented activity-based anorexia mice (ABA-G or ABA-B; grey bars). Values without a common letter significantly differ (p < 0.05); *: p < 0.05 vs. ABA-C using t-test. The number of mice was n = 8 for CTRL, n = 5 for ABA-C and n = 5 for ABA-G (A,C) and n = 16 for CTRL, n = 16 for ABA-C and n = 14 for ABA-B (B,D).
