Thermal injury leads to a transient muscle atrophy and an increase in muscle mass. a Animal weights from day 0 to day 14 following thermal injury. b Muscle mass expressed as a dry/wet muscle ratio. c Representative images of Masson’s trichrome staining of mice gastrocnemius from the sham group, and 2 days, 7 days, and 14 days following cutaneous thermal injury. Images were obtained at 10× magnification and myofiber cross-sectional area (μm2) was measured for all time points. Both type I and type II fibers were included in the analysis. d Quantification of muscle cross-sectional area. e Representative laminin staining of myofibers via immunofluorescence. Images taken at 40× magnification. *P < 0.05
