In situ analysis of the contractile properties of the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle in FVB and mdx/FVB mice. — A, Specific twitch force. n=10 and 8 for 3-m-old and n=8 and 9 for 6-m-old FVB and mdx/FVB mice, respectively; p=0.51 and p=0.50 for 3 and 6-m-old comparisons respectively. B, Specific tetanic force. n=10 and 8 for 3-m-old and n=8 and 9 for 6-m-old FVB and mdx/FVB mice, respectively. C, Percentage of force drop during ten cycles of eccentric contractions. Absolute force generated during the first cycle is set as the baseline (100%) and the percentage of force drop following each cycle of eccentric contraction is calculated relative to the baseline. n=7-10 and 7-8 for 3-m-old and n=7-8 and 6-9 for 6-m-old FVB and mdx/FVB mice, respectively. Asterisk, significantly different from that of FVB mice.
