¹Data are presented as ave. ± SD with n = 3 for all except 4 week old values where n = 2.

Unpaired, two-tailed t-tests (see Methods) were used to compare values from each pair of healthy and diseased muscles that were of the same age and expression pattern. P values are shown below the pair of tested values. P ≤ 0.05 was considered significant and indicated by an asterisk.
