Effects of (−)-epicatechin (Epi) on GWI muscle activation of AKT and MTORC1, two major components of the protein synthesis pathway. (A) Illustrates a representative image of Western blots of AKT phosphorylation at Ser473 and MTORC1 at Ser2448 (activation sites); (B) reports on phosphorylation activation relative changes in protein levels of gastrocnemius muscle p-AKT and p-MTORC1 in control, GWI and GWI-Epi animals (n = 6/group). *p < 0.05 vs. control, ^p < 0.05 vs. GWI by t-test. AU arbitrary units.
