Text: Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation had no effect on the basal rate of muscle protein synthesis (mean SEM : 0. 051 0. 005 % / h compared with 0. 053 0. 008 % / h before and after supplementation, respectively ; P = 0. 80) but augmented the hyperaminoacidemia-hyperinsulinemia-induced increase in the rate of muscle protein synthesis (from 0. 009 0. 005 % / h above basal values to 0. 031 0. 003 % / h above basal values ; P < 0. 01), which was accompanied by greater increases in muscle mTOR (Ser2448) (P = 0. 08) and p70s6k (Thr389) (P < 0. 01) phosphorylation.
