Depletion of muscle ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor α (CNTFRα) does not affect muscle fiber type composition. Immunohistochemical analysis of muscle fiber types in soleus (A–C) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL; D–G) muscles harvested from CNTFRα-depleted and control mice 3 weeks after nerve crush did not detect any effect of CNTFRα depletion on fiber type composition in muscles either ipsilateral (“Lesioned”) or contralateral (“Intact”) to nerve crush (all comparisons P >0.05; two-way ANOVA terms for main effect of CNTFRα depletion). IIb and IIx fibers were not detected in soleus muscle. Means with SEM are presented. Numbers in bars indicate numbers of mice. Legend applies to all graphs.
