BBIC improves phenotypic properties of mdx mice. A: the percentage of muscle fibers containing centralized nuclei from the extensor digitorum longus (EDL), diaphragm, and tibialis anterior (TA). Treatment with 1% BBIC in the feed significantly reduced the number of centrally located nuclei in the EDL and the TA muscles (lowered by 23% and 10%, respectively); the number of central nuclei fell by 17% in the diaphragm muscle (P = 0.055). *P < 0.05 (2–4 regions per section, n = 3 per group). B: mean serum creatine kinase (CK) levels changed by nearly 3-fold following BBIC treatment (P < 0.10; n = 5).
