Intramuscular collagen content based on hydroxyproline concentration; B) mRNA expression of transform growth factor beta (TGF-β), collagen I (COL1A1), collagen III (COL3A3), and fibronectin; C) TGF-β abundance evaluated by western-blot; D) mRNA expression of lysyl oxidase (LOX), metalloproteinase II (MMP2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1); Tubulin was used as a loading control. Differences were considered at P ≤ 0.05 (*).
