Fig. 7From: Ursodeoxycholic acid induces sarcopenia associated with decreased protein synthesis and autophagic fluxUDCA decreases p70S6K and 4EBPP1 phosphorylation and p70S6K total protein levels into C2C12 myotubes. C2C12 myoblasts differentiated for 4–5 days were incubated with 200 μM UDCA for 72 h. a p70S6K phosphorylation and total levels were detected by western blot analysis, using p70S6K total levels or GAPDH as a loading control, respectively. Molecular weight is indicated in kDa. b Densitometric analysis of p-p70S6K (Thr389) and (c) p70S6K total protein levels were performed. d 4EBP1 phosphorylation and total levels were detected by western blot analysis, using 4EBP1 total levels or β‐actin as a loading control, respectively. Molecular weight is indicated in kDa. e Densitometric analysis of p-4EBP1 (Ser65) and f 4EBP1 total protein levels was performed. The values are shown as a fold of change and expressed as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments (no paired t-test, *p < 0.05 with respect to the control group).
