Figure 6. Muscle fibres in the soleus muscle from mice treated with isotype control antibody and from mice treated with anti-F4/80.

Muscle fibres in the soleus muscle of mice treated with isotype control antibody increased in cross-sectional area during the interval between 0 and 4 days of reloading. However, fibres in muscles from mice treated with anti-F4/80 do not grow in cross-section during the interval between 2 and 4 days of reloading. *Significantly different from treatment-matched sample in 0 h reload group at P < 0.05; #significantly different from treatment-matched 2 day sample at P < 0.05.
