	abstract = {The calpain system consists of two enzymes and their endogenous  inhibitor, calpastatin, and is involved in the breakdown of myofibrillar  protein in skeletal muscle. We have investigated the relationship  between the calpain system and protein degradation in sheep under three  different feeding regimes. Calpain were separated from fresh muscle  using a DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange column. Calpain I and calpastatin  activities were higher in the restricted group than in the ad-  libitum group. Fasting increased calpastatin but had no effect on  the calpain I activity. There was a positive relationship between the  calpastatin : calpain I ratio and protein degradation and a negative  relationship with calpain I. This result is at variance with the idea  that calpain I activity limits the rate of protein degradation.  },
