Improved Morphological Features of Cox15sm/sm::Opa1Tg Skeletal Muscle
(A) H&E staining of skeletal muscles from mice of the different genotypes. Scale bar 100 μm.
(B) Quantification of the number of centralized nuclei in the different genotypes. 600 fibers/sample were analyzed (n = 4/genotype). Solid blue: WT; blue outline: Opa1tg; solid red: Cox15sm/sm; red outline: Cox15sm/sm::Opa1tg. Statistical significance was calculated by unpaired, two-tail Student’s t test: ∗∗∗p < 0.005. Error bars represent SEM.
(C) Cross-sectional area of muscle fibers of gastrocnemius. 600 fibers/sample were analyzed (n = 4/genotype). Solid blue: WT; blue outline: Opa1tg; solid red: Cox15sm/sm; red outline: Cox15sm/sm::Opa1Tg. Statistical significance was calculated by unpaired, two-tail Student’s t test: ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.005. Error bars represent SEM.
