2. Figure 1
Scatter plots of HOMA versus skeletal muscle protein metabolism components. Simple linear regression revealed a direct relationship between HOMA and (a) skeletal muscle protein synthesis (P=0.024) and (b) skeletal muscle protein breakdown (P=0.001). (c) An inverse relationship between HOMA and net muscle protein balance was observed that approached significance (P=0.066). *Statistical significance P<0.05.

Schematic diagram of the metabolic study day protocol. Denotes time points for blood draws and breath sample collections. Metabolic cart and plethysmography measurements were performed once during the equilibration phase. A primed-constant infusion of L-(1-13C) leucine and L-(ring-2H5) phenylalanine was maintained throughout the entire study (150min).
