Fig. 2From: An attenuated rate of leg muscle protein depletion and leg free amino acid efflux over time is seen in ICU long-stayersSkeletal muscle mixed protein turnover in long-staying intensive care unit patients (n = 20). Measurements in the period days 10–20 (blue bars; n = 10) are compared with those in the period days 30–40 (red bars; n = 9). Data are given as medians (quartiles). The p values are given for nonparametric comparisons between the two time periodsBack to article page
