FIG. 5.
Engraftment of dFbs with PSC reduces injury with eccentric contractions. (A) Response of dFb + PSC-transplanted EDL muscles to six eccentric contractions, compared with control mdx4cv and C57BL/6 (WT) muscles. (B) Bar graph representation of the responses of transplanted and control EDLs after the fifth eccentric contraction. (C–F) Comparisons of optimal length for force production (Lo), maximum isometric force, specific force, and mass of EDL muscles among cohorts. n = 4–9 muscles per group. WT, wild type.
