mRNA and protein content of AChR subunits change in TA muscles with age. (A) Results are fold changes of the corresponding mRNA in TA muscles at 18 and 30 months compared with 6 months. “*” indicates statistical significance from 6 months. (B) Protein content of both AChR, (left) and AChRϵ (right) subunits increased with age in TA muscles. “*” indicates statistical significance from 6 months. Inset shows representative western blots for both subunits at the three ages. AChR = acetylcholine receptor; mRNA = messenger RNA; TA = thyroarytenoid.
