Table 1. Ratio of fiber-type composition and number of apoptotic myofibers.
CON | HULT | ||
---|---|---|---|
Ratio of fiber-type composition | Type I | 90.8 ± 4.2 | 72.9 ± 5.4† |
Type II | 9.2 ± 4.2 | 27.1 ± 5.4† | |
Number of active-caspase-3 positive myofibers | 0 | 3.0 ± 2.0* |
The values are means ± standard deviation. P-values were assessed between the CON and HULT groups by unpaired student’s t-test. *Significant difference between the CON and HULT groups (p < 0.05). †Significant difference between the CON and HULT groups (p < 0.001).
