Figure 2

Myofibrillar protein fractional synthetic rate (FSR) calculated by. 1) utilizing plasma protein enrichment and a short incorporation time (90 min; 1BX SHORT), 2) utilizing plasma protein and a long incorporation time (240 min; 1BX LONG), or 3) utilizing sequential muscle biopsies (2BX) in study 1. *Significantly different from 2BX, P < 0.001. †Significantly different from 1BX LONG, P = 0.002. Values are means ± SD; n = 8
