(A) Mean values and standard deviation of MyHC-I protein content in diaphragm (black bars) and gastrocnemius (grey bars) muscles as measured by optical densities in arbitrary units (OD, a.u.). Definition of abbreviations: MyHC, myosin heavy chain; F, formoterol. Statistical significance is represented as follow: * p ≤ 0.05 between non-cachexia controls and cancer-cachexia rats; §§§ p ≤ 0.001 between cancer-cachexia rats and cancer-cachexia rats treated with formoterol. (B) Mean values and standard deviation of MyHC-II protein content in diaphragm (black bars) and gastrocnemius (grey bars) muscles as measured by optical densities in arbitrary units (OD, a.u.). Definition of abbreviations: MyHC, myosin heavy chain; F, formoterol. Statistical significance is represented as follow: * p ≤ 0.05 between non-cachexia controls and cancer-cachexia rats; §§ p ≤ 0.01 and §§§ p ≤ 0.001 between cancer-cachexia rats and cancer-cachexia rats treated with formoterol. (C) Mean values and standard deviation of total MyHC protein content in diaphragm (black bars) and gastrocnemius (grey bars) muscles as measured by optical densities in arbitrary units (OD, a.u.). Total MyHC protein content was de sum of MyHC-I and MyHC-II protein content. Definition of abbreviations: MyHC, myosin heavy chain; F, formoterol. Statistical significance is represented as follow: * p ≤ 0.05 between non-cachexia controls and cancer-cachexia rats; § p ≤ 0.05 and §§§ p ≤ 0.001 between cancer-cachexia rats and cancer-cachexia rats treated with formoterol.
