Final Body mass, and downstream muscle mass and tension output (8 weeks after operation).

	Body Mass (g)	Muscle Mass (mg) *		Tension Output (N 1 × 102) *
		Op-Side	Con-Side	Op-Side	Con-Side
E group	24.3 ± 0.6	84.5 ± 7.5	133.0 ± 4.9	75.8 ± 11.2	81.2 ± 4.7
NE group	23.2 ± 0.4	74.5 ± 9.5	132.5 ± 3.9	57.4 ± 8.3	94.2 ± 9.6

* Muscle mass and Tension output = total of gastrocnemius, soleus and plantaris muscles. Op-side = operated-side, Con-side = control-side.
