Figure 1. Collagen content and collagen crosslink values in WT, nesprin−/−, desmin−/− and nesprin−/−, desmin−/− double knockout (DKO) skeletal muscle.

Figure 1

Collagen content and HP, LP and PE collagen crosslinks were assessed using HPLC. Collagen content as measured by HPLC was significantly elevated in DKO skeletal muscle. HP and PE crosslinks were significantly increased over WT and single knockout values. (*p<0.05, via one-way ANOVA)
