Effects of short-term fasting on the Akt-mediated pathway involved in protein metabolism in chicken skeletal muscle

In the present study, we show that short-term (4 h) fasting significantly decreased the levels of protein synthesis-related factors such as the plasma insulin concentration, skeletal muscle pAkt and pS6 levels in 2-week-old chickens (P
