Figure 8. Activin and GDF11 protein levels increase postcastration in mouse skeletal muscles.

Figure 8.

Protein levels of activin A (A), activin B (B), activin AB (C), and GDF11 (D), respectively, in GAS muscles from 4 mice at each time, assessed by 3 independent measurements. Protein levels of activin A (E), activin B (F), activin AB (G), and GDF11 (H), respectively, in TRI muscles from 4 mice at each time, assessed by 3 independent measurements. ELISA quantification of cytokine concentration was normalized to total protein concentration of each sample, and then normalized to sham-castrated control. Sham-castrated (blue) and castrated (red) groups were compared by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's testing. Columns are normalized means, bars are SEM; *, P < .05; **, P < .01; ***, P < .001 vs sham-castrated group.
