Figure 2.

Effect of Low-SM intake on muscle in OVX mice. OVX mice were fed with Low-SM for 24 weeks as shown in Figure 1. (A) Muscle weight of TA was measured at 24 weeks followed by the start of soymilk intake. (B) Representative images of immunohistochemistry for laminin. (C) Cross-sectional area (CSA) of TA muscle (at least 1200 myofibers per mouse were counted). (Control, n = 5; soymilk, n = 5 mice). Data represent the mean ± SEM. n.s., not significant. An asterisk denotes a significant difference from control (* p < 0.05). Scale bar, 100 μm.
