Skeletal muscles weight following hindlimb suspension.
| CON (n = 10) | Hindlimb suspension (n = 10) | |
|---|---|---|
| Soleus (g) | 0.265 ± 0.011 | 0.141 ± 0.007∗∗∗ |
| Gastrocnemius (g) | 3.383 ± 0.054 | 2.722 ± 0.071∗∗∗ |
| TA (g) | 1.242 ± 0.018 | 1.092 ± 0.033∗∗ |

Skeletal muscles adjacent to tibia were weighted following 2-week hindlimb suspension n = 10). Age-matched rats were used as control (n = 10). TA, tibialis anterior; EDL, extensor digitorum longus. All the results were presented as mean ± SEM, ∗p < 0.05 vs. CON, ∗∗p < 0.01 vs. CON, ∗∗∗p < 0.001 vs. CON.
