Values are means ± SE. Body Wt, body weight, pre-HLS, pre-hindlimb suspension, and Body Wt at time of death. MW, muscle weight of both the soleus (Sol) and gastrocnemius (Gas). Value is average of left and right muscle weights. Ex, exercise. Statistical significance (P < 0.05) between groups indicated by the superscript letter associated with each particular group:
