O.27 Feeding induces protein synthesis in humanskeletal muscles without changes in myosin gene transcription

increased catabolism of rRNA. However, DMG excretion, which represents tRNA degradation, was reduced compared to healthy controls. Liver transplantation may have paradoxical effects on RNAturnover because increased catabolism following surgery is counter-balanced by the use of strong immunosuppressive therapy. Thus, increased wholebody rRNA degradation may reflect the loss of ribosomes from skeletal muscle which occurs after a simple surgical insult) Reference: 1.
