Rutin attenuates dexamethasone-induced muscle fiber area reduction in mice. (A) Representative images of immunofluorescent staining of myofiber cross-section of TA and GA. A microscope with a 10× objective was used to capture the images. The scale bar represents 100 μm. (B) Quantification of myofiber size by cross-sectional area (CSA) measurements for GA and TA muscle. Data are shown as mean ± S.E. (n = 9). GA, gastrocnemius muscles; TA, tibialis anterior; Dexa, Dexamethasone; DR, dexa + rutin.
