Popis: Objectives: To investigate the effect of whey protein plus potassium bicarbonate supplement on disused skeletal muscle structure and proteolysis after bed rest (BR). Methods: Soleus (SOL) and vastus lateralis (VL) biopsies were sampled from ten (n=10) healthy male subjects (aged 31±6 years) who did BR once with and once without protein supplement as a dietary countermeasure (cross-over study design). The structural changes (myofibre size and type distribution) were analysed by histological sections, and muscle protein breakdown indirectly via the proteolysis markers, calpain 1 and 3, calpastatin, MuRF1 and 2, both in muscle homogenates and by immunohistochemistry. Results: BR caused size-changes in myofiber cross-sectional area (FCSA, SOL, p=0,004; VL, p=0.03), and myofiber slow-to-fast type transition with increased hybrids (SOL, p=0.043; VL, p=0.037) however with campaign differences in SOL (p
