Figure 2From: Lysine suppresses myofibrillar protein degradation by regulating the autophagic-lysosomal system through phosphorylation of Akt in C2C12 cellsLys suppresses myofibrillar protein degradation through activation of Akt in C2C12 myotubes. Cells were incubated in medium containing DMSO (C), 10 μM Akti (Ai), 10 mM Lys (K), or 10 mM Lys with 10 μM Akti (AiK) for 4 h. The amount of MeHis released from the cells was measured by HPLC. Values are means with SE (n = 3). Different letters indicate significant differences among the groups (p < 0.05).Back to article page
