Abstract
The maintenance energy expenditure associated with Na+, K+-transport and protein synthesis within skeletal muscle was determined for rbST-treated and untreated cows. Somatotropin had no effect on elevating the respiration of skeletal muscle or the partitioning of maintenance energy expenditures within skeletal muscle. Key words: O2 consumption, somatotropin, Na+, K+-ATPase, protein synthesisKeywords
