Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of corn processing on relative mRNA level for mTOR , 4E-BP1 , p70S6K and protein abundances of mTOR, phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR), eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), phosphorylated 4E-BP1 (p-4E-BP1), p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K) and phosphorylated p70S6K (p-p70S6K) in the longissimus thoracis of piglets. Results are presented as means ± standard error of the mean (SEM), n = 4. Data columns with different letters were significantly different ( P ≤ 0.05).

Article Snippet: The membranes were blocked at room temperature, followed by incubation at 4 °C overnight with the following primary antibodies: mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR, catalog No. 2983, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR, catalog No. 5536, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1, catalog No. 9644, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), phosphorylated 4E-BP1 (p-4E-BP1, catalog No. 2855, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K, catalog No. 2708, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), phosphorylated p70S6K (p-p70S6K, catalog No. 9234, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH, catalog No. 5174, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA).
