The Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation on Dexamethasone-Induced Muscle Atrophy
Figure 5
Quantitative PCR results of gene expression in GA muscle samples from rats treated with n-3 PUFA or vehicle for 40 days and dexamethasone or vehicle (last 10 days). Relative fold change values for (a) MyoD, (b) Myogenin, (c) Atrogin-1, (d) MuRF-1, and (e) REDD2. Results are represented as means ± S.E.M. CT = control group (), DX = dexamethasone group (), n-3 = n-3 PUFA group (), and DX + n-3 = dexamethasone + n-3 PUFA group (). Values represent means ± S.E.M., analyzed by one-way ANOVA (∗) followed by Bonferroni post hoc test or Student’s t-test (#), ∗ or # and ##.
