Immunohistochemical analysis of nuclear p(phospho)-Smad2/3 (brown nuclei) with methyl green counter staining (green nuclei). Original magnifications: ×200 (A); The positivity of each antigen in the muscle fibers was expressed as a distribution of the percentage of the total 1500 myofibers analyzed on the ×400 field. Data is shown as mean ± SD (** p < 0.01). Immunoblotting of p-Smad2/3 (B). The graph represents the relative band density to β-tubulin. Data is shown as mean ± SD (** p < 0.01).
