Effects of glutamate (Glu) supplementation on the protein abundance of t-mTOR in gastrocnemius muscle (a) and LD muscle (b), and p-mTOR: t-mTOR ratio in gastrocnemius muscle (c) and LD muscle (d) in the weaned piglets at 4 h after Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge.

<p>Mean ± SE; n = 6, one piglet per pen. A one-way MANOVA revealed the partial eta squared was 0.481, and the power to detect the effect was 0.949. CONTR (non-challenged control), piglets fed a control diet and injected with sterile saline; LPS (LPS-challenged control), piglets fed the same control diet and injected with LPS; LPS + 1.0% Glu, piglets fed a 1.0% Glu diet and injected with LPS; LPS + 2.0% Glu, piglets fed a 2.0% Glu diet and injected with LPS.
