TABLE 1.

Body weight, hindlimb grip strength, and tibialis anterior muscle mass at sacrifice in control and irradiated mice

Treatment	n	Body weight (g, AM ± SE)*	Grip strength (N, AM ± SE)	TA mass (mg, AM ± SE)	TA:BW (AM ± SE)
Control	8	21.9 ± 0.3	0.70 ± 0.03	37 ± 1.4	1.7 ± 0.06
4x4 Gy	8	22.0 ± 0.3	0.67 ± 0.03	37 ± 1.0	1.7 ± 0.04
16 Gy	8	22.2 ± 0.2	0.67 ± 0.03	35 ± 0.6	1.6 ± 0.04

n = number of animals;

^*AM ± SE = means ± standard error; N = newtons; TA = tibialis anterior; TA:BW = TA normalized to body weight; g = grams; mg = milligrams; Gy = Gray
