Figure 2.

Effect of the 4 different experimental treatments on pancreatic polysomal profiles. Each profile shows the peaks for the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits, as well as for the whole ribosome (80S) and the different polysomes, in the polysomal fraction for representative fractionations. The graphs also show the calculations of the area under the curve for the subpolysomal and the polysomal fractions. The experimental groups were as follows: (A) Fasted; (B) refed (20% Prot); (C) refed protein-deficient diet (0% Prot); and (D) refed leucine-deficient diet (No Leu). N = 5–8/group. ∗P < .05 vs control group. ^#P < .05 vs control refed group.
