Effect of prolonged intravenous glucose and essential amino acid infusion on nitrogen balance, muscle protein degradation and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme gene expression in calves

摘要: Background Intravenous infusions of glucose and amino acids increase both nitrogen balance muscle accretion. We hypothesised that co-infusion (to stimulate insulin) essential (EAA) would act additively to improve by decreasing protein degradation in association with alterations expression components the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway.
