Fig 2. The effects of muscle atrophy induced by denervation on the mRNA expression levels of muscle atrophy–related gene.

Quantification of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products for MuRF1 (A), and atrogin-1 (B) expression in the TA and SOL muscles of the CON and DEN groups on post-operative day 10. Data are presented as means ± standard error of the mean (SEM). **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 by an unpaired t-test.
