GATOR Complex. a GATOR1 is a negative regulator of mTORC1, acting as a GAP towards Rag A/B. b GATOR2 is a positive regulator of mTORC1, acting as a negative regulator of GATOR1. x-axis: EAA = essential amino acid only group, CQ = essential amino acid plus chloroquine group, mean = mean of group ± standard error; y-axis units is fold change in gene expression from the basal to fed state using the 2-∆∆Ct method; bar indicates independent t-test comparison between EAA and CQ, symbols over means indicate paired t-test comparison of fold change with normalized baseline; * = p ≤ 0.05, ** = p ≤ 0.01, # = p < 0.10, NSD or no label = p > 0.10; the female subjects (n = 3 in CQ) are delineated by darker data points
