Figure 4From: The actions of exogenous leucine on mTOR signalling and amino acid transporters in human myotubesEffect of leucine, insulin or in combination, on the phosphorylation state of p70S6K. Primary human myotubes were untreated or incubated in the presence of leucine (Leu; 5 mM), insulin (Ins; 100 nM) or co-treated with leucine and insulin (Leu + Ins) for 30 min (A), 3 h (B) or 24 h (C). Phosphorylation levels of p70S6K at Thr389 were determined by Western blot analysis relative to total levels of p70S6K. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus untreated.Back to article page
