a Western blot result for the expression of mTOR a regulatory protein synthetic pathway and Grp78 an ER chaperone in soleus (SL) and gastrocnemius (GS) muscles under thermoneutral (C) and heat-stressed conditions (HS). b–c Densitometric quantification of western blot result. Protein levels were normalized to GAPDH. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3/group). “*” indicates SL C vs SL HS group (p < 0.05). “#” indicates SL C vs GS C group (p < 0.05). “a” indicates SL C vs GS HS group (p < 0.05). “b” indicates SL HS vs GS C group (p < 0.05). “d” indicates GS C vs GS HS group (p < 0.05)
