Fig 2. Effects of hindlimb unloading and glycerol injection on tibialis anterior muscle.

Fig 2

Muscle mass (a), muscle mass/body mass (b) and cross-sectional area (CSA) (c) of glycerol-injected tibialis anterior (TAg) from control (CTL) and hindlimb unloading (HU) mice. Representative histological transverse paraffin-embedded muscle sections, stained with hematoxylin-eosin-saffron from TAg of each experimental group (CTL and HU) (d). Pax7 (e), MyoD (f) and myogenin (g) mRNA levels of TA and TAg from CTL and HU mice. * p<0.05 vs control group, ** p<0.01 vs control group, *** p<0.001 vs control group (unloading effect).
