Tissue | 0 Weeks | 4 Weeks | 8 Weeks | Sham change wks 4–8 | Px change wks 4–8 | ||
Sham mass (g) | Sham mass (g) | Px mass (g) | Sham mass (g) | Px mass (g) | |||
Gastrocnemius-plantaris | 0.51±0.01 | 1.93±0.03 # | 1.24±0.06 #, * | 2.80±0.06 φ | 1.57±0.12 *φ | 146% | 127% δ |
Tibialis anterior | 0.17±0.01 | 0.61±0.01 # | 0.40±0.02 #, * | 0.82±0.02 φ | 0.48±0.03 *φ | 139% | 121% |

Note:
# indicates 4 week significantly greater than baseline at P<0.05.
*indicates that Px is significantly less than Sham for the same time point at P<0.05.
φ indicates that 8 week values are significantly higher than at 4 weeks within the same group at p<0.05.
δ indicates a significant change in growth between 4 and 8 weeks.
