Levels of free L-tyrosine in sera and quadriceps femoris of TgACTA1D286G mice. The concentration of free L-tyrosine was quantified via LC/MS in (A) sera samples (untreated, n = 4; L-tyrosine, n = 8), and (B) quadriceps femoris muscles (untreated, n = 6; L-tyrosine, n = 11) of 6-week old TgACTA1D286G mice receiving a 2% L-tyrosine supplemented diet from preconception compared to those fed control diets. Each data point represents an individual mouse ± s.d. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
