Proteostatic mechanisms in the: (A) heart, (B) liver, (C) skeletal muscle, (D) subcutaneous WAT (inguinal), and (E) epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT) depots as assessed by protein synthesis (left column), DNA synthesis (middle column), and the protein/DNA synthesis ratio (right column). Rates were determined using D2O labeling over 2 weeks. Values are presented as means ± SEM. n = 7–9 (CON), 5–6 (CR), and 9–10 (17α-E2). *p < .05 for each comparison. CR = caloric restriction; 17α-E2 = 17α-estradiol.
